Which of the following processes helps to cycle carbon between water and air?
astraxan [27]

Answer: The correct answer is Diffusion.

The molecules of carbon dioxide enter the oceans through the process of diffusion into the surface of sea water and dissolve by a physio-chemical process. The factors affecting the amount of carbon dioxide diffusion includes wind, concentration of carbon dioxide, temperature of the water etc. The carbon dioxide which diffuses into the oceans reacts with water forming carbonic acid, carbonate and bicarbonate ions. The gaseous form of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is converted to non-gaseous form reduces the carbon dioxide pressure in the water and promotes more diffusion from the atmosphere.

What three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?
natita [175]

Answer:

Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments and microtubules

Explanation:

Three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells are:

1. Microfilaments or actin filaments which are composed of actin proteins. The functions of those filaments are: muscle contraction (myosin heads move “walk” on actin filaments), the movement of the cell,  intracellular transport, maintaince of the cell shape..

2. Intermediate filaments which can be made of vimentins, keratin, lamin, desmin… Their functions are: the maintenance of cell shape, anchoring organelles, structural components of the nuclear lamina, cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions…

3. Microtubules are filaments polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. Their roles are in intracellular transport (associated with motor protein dyneins and kinesins),  formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella, formation of the mitotic spindle.
