This helps us sustain life by the tendency of a liquid in a capillary tube or absorbent material to rise or fall as a result of surface tension.

VzDeath is correct. It also helps the water and carbon cycle. In the water cycle there is something called Transpiration where water is taken in the roots of plants and travels up the stem through capillary action and into the leaves. THe leaves release the water as a by-product of photosynthesis and to cool its leaves. With out this capillary action the water cycle wouldn't be so complete.

Which pair is mismatched? Multiple Choice Giardia - transmitted by feces in drinking water Trypanosoma - causes African sleeping

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The mismatch pair is plasmodium causes chagas disease. Chagas disease occurs due to Trypanosoma cruzi.

Explanation:

Chagas disease is a parasitic disease .It also known as American Trypanosomiasis. Chagas disease is occurs due to the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite.It is spread mostly by insects .The name of the insect is Triatominae, or "kissing bugs". The symptoms change during the course of the infection.

Plasmodium is a protozoan parasite which causes malaria in the human body.

Giardia is a microscopic parasite. It has been contaminated with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals.So this match is correct.

African sleeping sickness caused by a microscopic parasite species Trypanosoma brucei. It is transmitted by the tsetse fly , which is found only in rural Africa.

1.what is carbon cycle?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Since our planet and its atmosphere form a closed environment, the amount of carbon in this system does not change .

Excess carbon in the atmosphere warms the planet and helps plants on land grow more. Excess carbon in the ocean makes the water more acidic, putting marine life in danger. Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere naturally when organisms respire or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks are weathered, forest fires occur, and volcanoes erupt.

Examples of how humans negatively affect local ecosystems are

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

A. Building dams, deforestation cutting down trees), adding point sources to nearby streams to allow for run-off, building roads and structures, and salting roads.

Explanation:

Removing non-native species from the environment helps the native ants to thrive without having any changes in the ecosystem effect them (i.e. new invasive animal).

Creating laws to prohibit fishing from local streams helps keep the fish alive and allowing them to continue to use this stream.

Planting trees and other plants to attract native species helps secure and grow the ecosystem of that area.

This leaves A as the answer.

Hope that helps you!

35. How do the Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain function together?

Schach [20]

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, but the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur inside the mitochondria. Electron carriers such as NADH produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle pass their electrons to the electron transport chain, which results in synthesis of a lot of ATP.
