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.

Answer:

tell them that the carbon is another type of air and then say the cycle (simple version)

2. Why is this change in global temperature a concern

12345 [234]

Past climate changes led to extinction of many species, population migrations, and pronounced changes in the land surface and ocean circulation. The speed of the current climate change is faster than most of the past events, making it more difficult for human societies and the natural world to adapt.

A Chlorella cell viewed through a microscope is 0.00005 m wide when the magnification is 2000.

juin [17]

Answer:

0.0025micrometer.

Explanation:

To calculate the actual size of the image, the formula to be used is

Actual size=Image size÷magnification.

The image size is 0.00005 wide

Magnification is 2000

First, convert the image size to micrometer.

=0.00005 × 1000000

50micrometers.

Actual size= 50÷2000

Actual size = 0.0025

a baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and no cytochrome c protein. this will affect what

Anna007 [38]

A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and no cytochrome c protein. this will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy. what will this yeast strain do more of compared to a normal strain

Will this new strain of yeast obtain more or less free energy from glucose in its growing medium?

Answer: Less because cytochrome c is key to the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

The Cytochrome c is an essential component of the electron transport chain. Without this there will be no oxidation and reduction of iron atom will take place which could convert the ferrous ions to ferric ions. Thus the entire process of electron transport chain and energy production in the form of ATP will be compromised. So, there will be no production of energy in the anaerobic fermentation by yeast.
