How are biotic factors in the marine ecosystem responsible for bringing carbon-dioxide into the ocean?

Biology
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Marine ecosystem have biotic organisms like phytoplankton and photosynthetic algae that do photosynthesis and converts the atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic matter most of the carbon dioxide is released when other organisms eat phytoplankton and release the carbon dioxide through respiration.

But some of the algae and phytoplanktons die naturally get down to the bottom of the ocean where they make carbon sink. Some organisms accumulate CO₂ in their exoskeleton that is made up of calcium carbonate.  

Therefore this use of carbon by living organisms in oceans brings carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to oceans. This is why the ocean plays a critical role in the carbon cycle and called carbon sink.

What are some ways in which the structure of a compound influences its function?
Art [367]
 structure of a compound influences its function in many ways like we take example of phospholipid bilayer  1. The fact that the tails are hydrophobic means that they do not interact with water. When a bunch of phospholipids are floating around in water, they try to arrange themselves in a bilayer that shields the hydrophobic parts from water-based, or aqueous, surroundings.

2. The heads are hydrophilic and can then interact with water and other polar or charged substances on either side of the bilayer. The bilayer acts as a barrier that allows cells to maintain internal conditions that are different from external conditions, which is monumentally important for cells to operate properly. 

3. Phospholipids demonstrate the intersection of structure and function in another way, too. We already know that fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated and that unsaturated fatty acids have bends in their chains. Those bends prevent fatty acids from packing close.

Plz help oh and one of the questions is what percent of energy does an individual get from the individual it eats
liraira [26]

1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.

2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).

3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.  

The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.  

4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).  

5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.  

6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
