As carbon moves throughout earths systems how are different parts of the biosphere(the part occupied by living things) affected?

Biology
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Cheers

Please help! Its for a grade and im confused.

From point W to point Z, the ball is B- Potential energy was transformed to kinetic energy. We know this because, at point W, the ball is in its potential form, it has the potential to roll but it has not yet started to. As we let the ball go, we turn that potential energy into kinetic energy, which is the energy that it has due to its motion.

I hope I've helped! :)

What is the difference between an anticodon and a codon?
liubo4ka [24]
<span>A codon is the triplet sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid (or a start or stop command). An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the transfer RNA (tRNA) which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA. There are no T (Thymine) nitrogen bases in mRNA. It's replaced by U (Uracil).</span>

1. The plant life that is characteristic of a biome depends upon:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

D. all of the above​

Explanation:

Biome refers to a large and relatively distinct terrestrial region having similar climatic conditions regardless of where it occurs on Earth. The characteristic climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation being the most important ones) and soil type of each biome type determine the type of plant species found there. Therefore, each biome is characterized by specific flora.  

For example, a desert biome is a temperate or tropical biome characterized by a lack of precipitation, seasonal variations in temperature and poor soil type with low organic matter that limits plant growth. Desert biomes have only the plant species that can survive these harsh conditions.
