<span>The correct answer is A, B and D. Biogeochemical cycles are central to the ecology of earth system. They make the essentail elements accessible and available for the organisms, and maintain their levels, so that the ecology is ot disrupted. The elements move through abiotic and biotic factors, in these cycles, and a state of equilibrium is maintained n the ecosystem. The carbon dioxide levels are responsible fr the temperature of the earth. If Carbon cycles would not have existed, then there would have been a disruption in maintaining the global temperature. Biogeochemical cycles basically continuously recycles the essential materials, for sustaining the life-forms.</span>
Answer: A simple word equation that can be used to describe the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Overall, photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate.
Explanation:
To control,maintain a rate or speed
The nitrogen in the air cannot be used by producers and consumers. It must be fixed or converted by bacteria in the ground into a useable form for plants called nitrates. Some plants called legumes (beans and clover) actually have bacteria in their roots.
Answer:
(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.
Explanation:
<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>
Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions
Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.
Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.
Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.
<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>
The correct option is D.
