Phytoplankton are microscopic marine plants that perform photosynthesis. They are responsible for removing the majority of carbo

n dioxide from the atmosphere to the ocean. Phytoplankton prefer cooler water temperatures. With the increasing ocean temperatures, phytoplankton are traveling to cooler areas in the ocean. Phytoplankton are important to the marine food web. Many marine primary consumers rely on phytoplankton. Since phytoplankton remove more than half of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and perform photosynthesis then they are responsible for releasing around 60%-70% of what essential element back into the atmosphere?

The correct answer is - oxygen.

The phytoplankton and the microscopic marine plants are using the process of photosynthesis in order to produce energy for them. In order for this process to take place, two things are needed, sunlight and carbon dioxide. The consumed carbon dioxide is not totally used, but there's some waste from it. The waste is actually the oxygen. The oxygen is released and it gets back into the atmosphere. This gas is crucial for the survival of the living organisms on the planet, especially the animals, so it is extremely import that the environment of the phytoplankton and the microscopic marine plants is not destroyed, as they are the ones that release the biggest amount of oxygen into the atmosphere.

The light reactions harvest _______, while the carbon reactions produce _______. select one:
Vikki [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is The light reactions harvest ___ <u>energy____</u>, while the carbon reactions produce<u> __carbohydrates_____.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The light dependent reaction is the first part of photosynthesis.
  • In the light energy energy is captured and used to break a water molecule into hydrogen ans oxygen ions with free electrons.
  • These electrons move into a electron transport chain lean to dark reaction.
  • Energy from these electrons is used in the dark reaction to produce carbohydrates from the CO2 and H2O and energy from the light reaction.

Answer:

Option B,

Explanation:

Proper restraint and handling techniques are used while dealing with animals in laboratory. These techniques ease the process of dealing with animals and must be practiced on regular basis even when there is no procedure being performed.  

Unlike other animals cat is the most co-operative animals and it is usually dealt by restraining the body be one hand and head by other hand. Cats can also be restrained by holding the scruff with one hand and then gently holding the hind limbs followed by stretching it.

Well, wind and solar energy are good places to look at. The highest wind speed recorded in Antartica was roughly 199 mph, so they would definitely gain a large amount of energy from the wind. A smaller turbine can handle severe weather conditions, so setting some up along the most wind ridden places would be good. Solar energy would also be the best option since their days are longer than their nights over there. There can be days at a time where the sun doesn't rise at all, and then there are some where there is sunlight for a full 24 hours. So, it really depends on your preference, and the cons and pros of the energy type.
For wind: Set up a series of turbines along the areas that have the most wind. Turbines can withstand large storms. There is usually some kind of wind blowing.
For solar: Set up some solar panels where they would be able to get the most amount of sunlight. There are 24 hour long days of sunlight, but there are also some days where there is no sunlight at all.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Planktons can’t be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they are dependent in the movement of the water. </span>
