Answer:

1.Living things in the ocean move carbon from the atmosphere into surface waters then down into the deeper ocean and eventually into rocks. This action of organisms moving carbon in one direction is often called a biological pump.

Carbon gets incorporated into marine organisms as organic

Molecules that contain carbon and that have a biological origin.

2.Through the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide oxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plant to animals. Through food chain , the carbon that is in plant moves to the animal that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.

3.soil naturally absorbs carbon from the atmosphere through the process known as sequestration which not only reduce harmful gases but also creates more fertile soil.

4.Soils play a key role in the carbon cycle by soaking up carbon from dead plant matter. Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, and pass carbon to the ground when dead roots and leaves decompose.

The means for transmission of disease-causing microorganism is provided by the ____.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The means for transmission of disease-causing microorganism is provided by the direct or indirect contact.

Microorganisms can cause disease only once they are transferred to the body. The disease causing microorganisms are termed as pathogens which are transmitted by several ways such as from skin to skin, by nuclei droplets, through blood and body fluids or via air. In vector transmissions the disease is carried by the parasitic insects via animals, air borne transmission occurs when microorganisms move through air or the dust particles, droplet transmission occurs by coughing, sneezing or talking by the person who is infected while indirect transmission occurs by physical contact or by touching contaminated objects.

If all cells come from other cells, briefly name and describe this process

alukav5142 [94]

I learned this long ago, I think it's either Mitosis or cell division, this is when one cell divides to make 2 cells and those 2 cell divide to make 4 cells and those 4 cells divide to make 8 cells and so on.

Competition for which resource is a dominant ecological factor in the rocky intertidal?

Andrew [12]

Answer: In the middle intertidal, barnacles, mussels and seaweeds all compete for space – a precious limited resource. Mussels are generally the dominant competitor on rocky shores and without the presence of predatory seastars would outcompete other taxa and occupy all available space.

A researcher is designing a laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of a reaction

Bas_tet [7]

First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst. hope this helps :)
