Which of the following explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle?*

Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Plants transfer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere.

Explanation:

Plants are unique organisms being that they have the unique ability to manufacture their own food via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Hence, they are called AUTOTROPHIC. Photosynthesis is the metabolic process by which plant cells make sugar (glucose) in the presence of sunlight.

However, in the photosynthetic process, plants require inorganic source of carbon called CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and water to perform the process. The chemical overall reaction of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle as they help transfer carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere (living organisms).

Can someone please help me with question 1
marshall27 [118]
Graduating from high school this year makes me feel a bit sad. Biology was such a fun but crazy class.

Enough of my sentiments; I'm here to help, :-).

This answer is dependent upon what ecosystem you choose your project over.

So, abiotic factors are nonliving things in an ecosystem. Biotic factors are living organisms and anything alive.

For instance, if you choose a pond for your ecosystem then the water, soil, maybe trash would be abiotic factors. Some could argue there is living material within the water and soil but those abiotic factors are not alive. I mean water is not alive but it could be a home to biotic factors like microorganisms such as protozoans and worms. The grass and trees and animals around a pond would be biotic factors.

Hope you get the idea. if there's any questions then leave a comment and I'll help. Good luck!

Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All studies have shown the same
Sonbull [250]

Cancer cells reproduce the same way the other cells reproduce. The difference between cancer cells and others is that their reproduction is uncontrollable. They constantly go through the cell cycle and they reproduce. Two ways cell reproductions are meiosis and mitosis. DNA duplicates itself. Cancer is incessantly receiving messages.

At the cell membrane, the vesicles can fuse with the larger lipid bi layer, causing the vesicle contents to either become part of the cell membrane or be released to the outside.
