Answer: Plants use carbon dioxide and release oxygen. And animals release carbon dioxide and use oxygen.

Explanation:

During the process of photosynthesis, <u>plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy stored in carbohydrate molecules</u>, such as glucose. During this process, they release oxygen as a waste product.

So, carbon is necessary for the creation of molecules. Also, plants and animals release carbon dioxide when they decompose, while animals also release carbon dioxide when they respire. This is because animals take in oxygen to perform aerobic respiration, and r<u>elease carbon dioxide when they breathe</u>, which is a waste product of cellular respiration. So, during this process, glucose and oxygen react together to produce carbon dioxide and water and releases energy.

Finally, carbon cycle refers to a cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, it describes how carbon passes from animals to plants and vice versa.

As a summary of everythingt, we can say that plants use carbon dioxide to produce glucose and they release oxygen. And animals use this oxygen to perform cellular respiration consisting of the breakdown of glucose and this releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. Also, plants and animals  release carbon dioxide when they decompose. In this way, the carbon cycle describes how it moves from plants to animals.

Cell theory states that all living things contain one or more cells. Why do you think cell theory meets the definition of
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Cell theory meets the definition of a scientific theory  because it can be proven, it has been tested for a long period of time and therefore there are many evidences that support the theory but not enough to become a law. Well scientific laws are statements based on repeated experiments or observation, but also, a law is something that always applies under the same conditions. Evolution occurs in the characteristics of living things within a species overtime. . A theory is much more complex: it explains why something happens. A law only describes what happens.

The cell theory meets the definition of a scientific theory but i do not think it should be a scientific law.

Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

In some plants, phloem cells are connected end-to-end by sieve plates, creating a direct connection between the cytoplasm of phl
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because the sieve plate interconnected like that help in exchange of substances or transport of substances between element cell and it act as a barrier to prevent the sap from been loss when phloem is damaged or cut. The sieve plates form the sieve tube which is the conducting element of the phloem. It is formed from series of elongated cells that are interconnected by perforations in their walls.

Describe how some plants or animal populations survive in the presence of pesticides.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

pesticides are in the form of insecticides,fungicides,herbicides plant growth regulators and so on

Explanation:

Pesticides are lethal to target pests but not to the non-target pests it includes humans as well. The application of pesticides brings gain to the farmers by getting higher yields for better and protected crops. Insecticides act against insects growth, herbicides protects herbs, weeds from its pests, rodenticides protects from rats,avicides protects birds fungicides act against fungi and nematicides act against nematodes. Pesticides are divided according to their types.To protect some plant and animals population which can withstand with pesticides environment.
