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.

. Trace the path of sound from the outer ear to interpretation by the brain, detailing what happens at each step in the pathway.

scZoUnD [109]

Sound waves enter the external ear and are funneled toward the tympanic membrane by the shape of the outer ear.Variation in air pressure due to sound waves causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The wave frequency will determine the vibration rate.Tympanic vibrations cause the malleus to move. Because the three ossicles are connected, this vibration is transduced to the stapes via the incus.Movement of the stapes vibrates the oval window. Significant amplification of sound waves occurs due to the small size of the window.Pressure changes transduced through the oval window vibrate the perilymph in the scala vestibuli which are transmitted across the vestibular membrane to the endolymph of the cochlear duct, and also up the scala vestibuli and down the scala tympani much the way <span>waves move through the ocean.</span>

How could injury to the excretory system affect the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis? Explain.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The excretory system maintains homeostasis (balance of body) within the body by expelling wastes. These waste products can assist in balancing electrolytes within the body. For example, you've got an overdose intake of medicines or vitamins, the kidneys and therefore the liver work together to be ready to metabolize the surplus meds.
