The Changing Forms of Carbon

Biology
1 answer:
Tom [10]2 years ago
7 0

Carbon is found in different forms on the Earth. It is found as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as carbonate and bicarbonate salts in various minerals, as well as it occurs in the elemental form of diamonds and graphite. All biotic factors are based on carbon-containing molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids and vitamins. Carbon is incorporated into life-forms through photosynthesis which is performed in the presence of sunlight by all life-forms that contain chlorophyll. Photosynthesis converts CO2 from the atmosphere or dissolved in water into glucose molecules. These molecules are either converted into other substances or used to provide energy for the synthesis of other biologically important molecules.

The use of glucose to provide energy to living things involved the process of respiration in which oxygen may or may not be used to convert glucose back into CO2. This CO2 goes back into the atmosphere again. The process of combustion also adds to the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This percentage is said to have increased when human beings started cutting down trees, burning fossil fuels, etc. on a very large scale. Thus, carbon is cycled repeatedly through different forms by the various physical and biological activities and this cycle is therefore called carbon cycle.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Cancer cells are different because they don't enter the G - 0 phase and they are likely to do which of the following Your answer
Allisa [31]

Answer:

c) repeat the cell cycle continuously

Explanation:

Cell division is a normal phenomenon for all cells as this is the way the cell reproduces and gets repaired in living organisms. However, some cells, due to mutation, keeps dividing and proliferating to form tumours. These cells are called CANCER cells. A normal cell undergoes cellular repair at certain checkpoints of the cell cycle. The checkpoints are necessary to determine a faulty cell and stop its division.

However, cancerous cells do not undergo any repair, which is why they do not enter the G0 phase as mentioned in the question. They keep on dividing out of control without death by repeating the cell cycle continuously.

in a series of experiments Griffith infected mi've with oa nonvirulent r strain bacteria and highly virulent s strain bacteria.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This demonstrate the transforming principle.

Explanation:

Griffith performed the experiment on the virulent bacteria and non- virulent bacteria. The non- virulent bacteria produce rough colonies and did  not cause pneumonia. The virulent bacteria produces smooth colonies that kill the mice and caused pneumonia.

When Griffith mixed the on virulent bacteria and heat killed virulent bacteria he found that the mice were killed. He concluded that there was transforming principle that turns the non- virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria from the heat killed bacteria. Something, has been transferred from the heat killed bacteria to the non- virulent bacteria. Later, he found that dead mice blood sample contained both the non-virulent rough bacteria strains and virulent smooth strains of bacteria.
