a)121 million gigatons or 121 million billion metric tons" of carbon).
B)The ocean, with around 38,000 gigatons
c)60 gigatons of carbon
1. The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.
2. What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.
3. An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.
4. The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.

Explanation:
A. Zebra mussels are located in the areas of the United States that they were introduced to but it continues to spread across the US as time progresses.
B. Since the Zebra mussels can attach itself to solid surfaces, boats are no exceptions. They are able to go a few days out of water which gives them enough time to remain attached until a boater takes the vessel to another lake or isolated body of water.
C. Since these are filter feeders they are growing without a natural predator since they are an invasive specie. They feed on the algae in the water and use up almost all of this food supply and makes resources for other native specie (fish) that depend on this food source to die out.
D. Burmese pythons in the Florida everglades are an invasive specie. The prey on endangered species, have no real predator and have voracious feeding habits that affect the numbers in the animal population.
E. Non- native mongoose was introduced on Jamaica to control the snake population. The problem with introducing a non native specie would be that this new organism is also without a natural predator. After the target specie has been eliminated it may try to feed on other animals in the ecosystem as well.
F. Invasive species need to adapt to weather conditions and should be able to hunt/acquire its food in order to survive in its new environment.
