Plants and animals RE a carbon source during respiration. they take in Oxygen and give out Carbon (IV) oxide as a by product. Combustion of fossil fuels is also source of carbon (IV) Oxide.

Formation of fossils from dead plants and animals is a carbon sink. photosynthesis is also a carbon sink as plants take in carbon (IV) Oxide that is used to make food.

Answer: According to the given diagram.

Atmosphere- source

Factories, power stations and vehicle emissions- source

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)- source

Plants- sinks

Animals- source

Explanation:

According to the given diagram.

Atmosphere- source

The atmosphere is the mass of different gases. The carbon dioxide is the gas which is also present in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the source of carbon dioxide.

Factories, power stations and vehicle emissions- source

The factories, power stations and vehicle emissions emit the carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere as they use the fossil fuel as a source of thermal energy.

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)- source

When the fossil fuel burns they emit immense amounts of gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxides in the atmosphere. Hence, they are the source of carbon.

Plants- sinks

Plants require carbon dioxide as reactant for the purpose of photosynthesis. Therefore, they absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Hence, they called as carbon sinks.

Animals- source

The animals release carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is a byproduct of the process of respiration.

Serga [27]

Answer:

A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Explanation:

The purpose of the addition of the saturated aqueous solution of polar solvents like sodium chloride in the liquid-liquid extraction techniques is to remove as well as separate any kind of water which may be dissolved in the ether. Water and sodium chloride are both polar and thus, they forms the bottom layer and only ether forms the top layer. The compound being organic and is colored is in the top layer with the ether.

Hence, answer - A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Protons:

Positively charged particle

The number of these is the atomic number

All atoms of a given element have the same number of these

Neutrons:

Neutral particles

Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these

The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons

Explanation:

Protons (positively charged), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.

The Atomic number (Z) indicates the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the same atomic number, thus the same number of protons.

The mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and neutrons (N) that are present in the nucleus: A= Z + N

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which nucleus have the same atomic number (Z), and different mass number (A), it means the same number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and a different number of neutrons (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:

99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8

0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9

0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

When sleeping the energy exhibited is Potential energy. When I wake up and I’m preparing for the day I use kinetic energy which is the energy exhibited during motion.

Eating before leaving the house means I used chemical energy for replenishment of nutrients to aid the performance of more activities for the day. The food eaten and the physical activities also give rise to thermal energy which is why we sweat.
