The answer is respiration.
The burning of fossil fuels is known as combustion. It is often compared with cellular respiration.
The general equation of cellular respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide
</span>
The general equation of combustion is:
fuel + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide
Both reactions involve breaking down of large molecules (glucose and fuel) using oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. In both reactions, chemical energy is transformed into more useful form.</span>
Answer:
Microorganisms can be found both in the external environment (ecosystem) and the internal environment (microflora) of higher organisms.
Explanation:
Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic forms of life that include bacteria, protists, fungi and animal species, these organisms can se differentiated by using laboratory techniques such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by microscopes. These organisms are both beneficial and both beneficial and pathogenic for humans. For example, the microflora may be useful in digesting nutrients contained in the food. On the other hand, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is a pathogen microorganism that is found in the digestive system of mosquitoes and cause malaria in humans.
It is important for scientists to use scientific names and not common names because common names can be easily misunderstood as something else. For example, a scientist during an expeirement will use scientific names because if they used a common name of a certain thing and it be mistaken for something that it wasn't the entire expeirement would be ruined or someone could get hurt.
Answer:
Glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide, so carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.
<span>Somatic is to autonomic as voluntary is to involuntary.
The autonomic nervous system or visceral nervous system (also called vegetative nervous system) is the part of the nervous system responsible for functions not subject to voluntary control (like heart rate, breath...).
The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the movements and position of the body and allows to perceive through the skin various sensations (touch, heat, pain) and discover through the other sense organs the surrounding environment (like vision, hearing, olfaction...).
Both of the nervous systems consists of sensory neurons and motor neurons.
About rest and excitation, they are controlled by the two parts of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic an parasympathetic).</span>
