Answer:
“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number.
What is the significance of these words in defining the
three forms of sugars?
These terms are used because they depict how the
molecule appears.
The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."
Explanation:
-
Removes carbon from air: photosynthesis by plants and algae
Release of carbon into atmosphere: respiration (animals exhale CO2), factory emissions, eruption of volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and breakdown of organic matter
Release of carbon into the soil: Shells of marine organisms form limestone, and some carbon from decomposing organisms is stored in the soil
*This isn’t every possible pathway but hopefully this will help get you started. I’m going to attach a picture of the carbon cycle (not mine) to help you visualize the process.
Plants use their stomata to take in Carbon dioxide and take out oxygen during photosynthesis. It's how they "breathe" if that makes it more understandable.
Question: If they aren't hermaphrodites, can they still be male and female at the same time?
Facts: Different snails reproduce differently, but most snails are "hermaphrodites." Being a hermaphrodite means that any given snail can be both male and female at the same time. This can make it a lot easier for snails to reproduce and quickly make a whole lot of snails! Some hermaphrodite snails do not need another snail to reproduce, but can make more snails all by themselves (this is called asexual reproduction). Other snails are hermaphrodites but still need another snail to reproduce (this is called sexual reproduction). There are also some snails that aren't hermaphrodites, but are either male or female, and must find a snail of the opposite sex to breed with.
