Answer:

To a 1st Grader:

Carbon is the magic element that is the basis of life on Earth. All living things contain carbon. Animals breathe it out, and plants breathe it in. Plants, people and animals depend on each other.

The carbon cycle is a process where carbon dioxide travels from the atmosphere into living organisms and the Earth, then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air along with water and photosynthesis from the sun and use it to make food.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth. Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone. To a first grader is different because they wouldn't understand what half of these words mean lol.

It is a specialized form of connective tissue whose main feature is the mineralization (calcium) of its bone matrix (collagen and proteoglycan fibers). There are several types of bones, of which flat bones are described below.

Flat bones are thin bones and consist of two parallel blades of compact bone tissue, with a layer of cancellous bone between them. Flat bones provide considerable protection and generate large areas for muscle insertion. These are the bones most likely due to muscle fixation in the legs.

Answer:

Nesting & Foraging behavior

Explanation:

Seabirds are generally tertiary consumers and / or marine predators that, in marine foodwebs, occupy the upper trophic level. They are very well adapted to all marine ecosystems and feed on a variety of prey: from micro-crustaceans to fish and cephalopods.

Generally, seabirds are observed performing a nesting behavior, by laying eggs near the shore, and then are found exhibiting foraging behavior -searching and foraging for prey- in both the coastline and pelagic zone, also known as the open sea.

Seabirds exhibit different foraging behaviors, for example, the <u>surface feeding behavior which involves flying along the surface with their beak in the water. Gulls, albatrosses and petrels are examples of surface feeders.</u>

<u>On the other hand, plunge diving involves preying on fast marine organisms by diving into the water during their flight. Pelicans are example of seabirds who engage in this behavior.</u>
