Answer:

Carbon is an essential factor to the survival of living things.

Explanation:

It is produced as a waste by-product of metabolism in living organisms and combines with oxygen to be released as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Plants on the other hand require CO2 to process sunlight and nutrients into energy. They in return release oxygen which is required by animals to break down food.

Factories, businesses, people (as they generate electricity, transport people and goods, etc) release lots of carbon into the atmosphere it also combines with oxygen again to form C02.

The ocean and water bodies also serve as a collecting conduit of CO2, especially where the water temperature is relatively warm. When CO2 is captured by the ocean, it is used by some sea animals to make shells.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. helps process explicit memories for storage.

Explanation:

The hippocampus is an structure of the brain and is located inside the temporal lobe. The main function of the hippocampus is to mediate the generation and recovery of memories in conjunction with many areas spread across the cortex and with other areas of the limbic system. It helps to process and recover the episodic memory (those related to events) and spatial memory (mode in which we perceive space or dimensions). This organ is also where short-term memories become long-term memories, that is, it acts as a mediator of memories, acting as an activation node that allows different memories distributed across different parts of the brain to be activated.

If you measure the rate of respiration of plant root hair cells, would you expect it to be the same as, more than, or less than

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. In many ways, respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive.As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration".

In plants, there are two types of respiration: dark respiration and photo respiration. The first kind occurs in the presence or absence of light, while the second occurs exclusively in the presence of light.Plant respiration occurs 24 hours per day, but night respiration is more evident since the photosynthesis process ceases. During the night, it is very important that the temperature is cooler than during the day because plants can experience stress. Imagine a runner in a marathon.

roots respire too!

One of the functions of the substrate is to serve as a site for air exchange between the root zone and atmosphere. In other words, roots breathe oxygen like we do. Different plants have different oxygen requirements for their root systems.

For example,

the root system of a poinsettia requires a lot of oxygen, so it is best to use a substrate with high air porosity, while hostas can live well in a substrate with a high water holding capacity.
