Carbon dioxide—\text {CO}_2CO

start text, C, O, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript—from the atmosphere is taken up by photosynthetic organisms and used to make organic molecules, which travel through food chains. In the end, the carbon atoms are released as \text {CO}_2CO

start text, C, O, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript in respiration.

Slow geological processes, including the formation of sedimentary rock and fossil fuels, contribute to the carbon cycle over long timescales.

Some human activities, such as burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, increase atmospheric \text{CO}_2CO

start text, C, O, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript and affect Earth's climate and oceans.

Importance of protein in metabolism

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Protein is also used for growth and repair. Amid all these necessary functions, proteins also hold the potential to serve as a metabolic fuel source. Proteins are not stored for later use, so excess proteins must be converted into glucose or triglycerides, and used to supply energy or build energy reserves.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

The spontenous genrration theory states that living organisms can be spwan without descent of similar organisms; so in other words, it is possible for living creatures could arise from nonliving matter such as water. Similarily in 1676 Van Leeuwenhoek discovered tiny organisms living in his cup of water- the first bacteria observed by man. Pasteur's spontenous generation theory came into the limelight after his most noteable experiment in 1859; in which he boiled meat broth in down ward tipped flasks. It is importnat to note that the tip of the flask (the neck) is what prevented particles to fall freely and instead the bent neck allowed air to travel through the flask- if the flask were to be tilted on its side the particles would seep into the broth and create a cloud within the flask. Pastuer further decided to boil the broth to possible create bacietia. Boiling the broth exposed the contents to air vessels which contained a filter to stop the particles from seeping thorugh into the broth. What Pastueru concurred from his experminet was that flasks with filters and no filters that did not allow the particles to pass into the medium of the flask, were unsucessful with createing bacteria life. Thus, Pasteur found that noithing grew in the flasks unless they were broke open, disapproving that living organisms could be spotenously generated within the broth, was instead created from outside the inards of the flask- and were created as spores or dust.

Yeah that's the right answer, the other would influence the tides but the shoreline won't.

If a human body requires artificial support for respiration, heartbeat, blood pressure and metabolism, at what point does it cea

dybincka [34]

Answer:

At brain death.

Explanation:

If an individual is awake but not conscious of what is happening in the surrounding environments the person is in the vegetative state.Such individual could respond to certain reflexes as eye blinking,withdrawal of hands in response to touch, ability to sleep and wake up at normal sensations.However, cognitive functions and sensory responses which are related to emotions are not responded to.It is different from Coma in which the individual lacks ability to be aware of the environments and tom be awake or alert.

The vegetative state ends when brain deaths occurs.This is the state when all brain activities are lost permanently. Breathing seized,and contact with the external world is cut.Thus, the functions of the brain which were supported by artificial supports are lost because the parts of the brain which control breathing,heartbeat ,and blood pressure are dead. Therefore, the life supports can not stimulate them to life
