Alisiya [41]
Ur digestive system is responsible for breaking down food substances to provide ur body with the nutrients it needs. circulatory system take blood to all parts of ur body.
respiratory system gets oxygen in n carbon dioxide out..your immune keeps you healthy by fighting off infections. and ur excretory system takes out waste fluids out ur body.
you should be breathing, oxygen goes into ur lungs, your blood gets some of that oxygen n Carries it through ur body to keep it working.. now ur body is working, ur digestive system is breaking down food n sending the nutrients into ur blood stream n taking waste materials out n so is ur excretory system.. your immune system is also healthy good because there is no waste substance stuck in ur body thanks to ur excretory system n ur digestive system..now to u see how they r AL connected?..if one fails to do what it's supposed to o, it would affect the other systems...let's say ur respitory system malfunctions...u get no oxygen going in you blood stream which is dangerous because ur circulatory system needs it..or if ur digestive system fails to do its job, u won't be getting the nutrients you need to go in the blood stream n flourish the body, it would affect your immune system..if ur circulatory system doesn't work like it's supposed to be, it would be a bad situation because ur blood could cloth if it stays in a place for too long without moving n u could get a stroke ..blodclothing could stop the flow of blood from going to a location n taking nutrients from the digestive system n oxygen from the respiratory system to that part of ur body n it would feel numb or tingly..n if ur excretory fails, waste substances are traped in ur body which is poisonous n can go into ur bloood stream n affect your immune system..

Within each year, what is the pattern of change in CO₂ concentration? Why does this pattern occur?
telo118 [61]

The pattern of change in CO₂ concentration is new plant growth in the spring increases photosynthesis rates, which lowers CO2 concentrations; this decline continues until autumn, when leaves fall and decompose, raising CO2 concentrations.

The level of carbon dioxide within the surroundings rises and falls every 12 months as plant life, thru photosynthesis and respiration, absorbs the gas in the spring and summer season, and launches it in fall and wintry weather. Now the range of that cycle is expanding as extra carbon dioxide is emitted from burning fossil fuels and different human activities.

In spring, flora in the Northern Hemisphere starts to develop and absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, so atmospheric CO2 attention decreases as the road dives down. In fall, flora starts to decay and release their CO2 again into the ecosystem, so atmospheric CO2 attention increases the line shoots up. plants are accumulating carbon within the spring and summer while they are lively, and they're liberating carbon again to the air in the fall and winter.

dimaraw [331]

Unfortunately no, my friend is not correct. The CO2 pollutants leaving his exhaust are warm, yes, but that is why our atmosphere is creating global warming which is affecting climate in all regions. When there is more people that means more cars and more pollutants being dispersed into our atmosphere.
