Answer:
The correct answer is - per gram, the marathon runner's muscles would contain more myoglobin than the sprinter's muscles.
Explanation:
Marathon runners have smaller leg muscles and thinner quads and calves as marathon runners require slow-twitch muscles while in sprinters the fast-twitch muscle requires. Slow-twitch muscles of marathon runners have more amount of myoglobin, per gram than fast-twitch muscles.
Myoglobin acts as local oxygen storage that provides oxygen to the muscles in case of less oxygen supply than required temporarily and a marathon race is an intense exercise or activity that requires more oxygen.
Answer:
Phytoplankton are essential for atmospheric and climate regulation.
Explanation:
Phytoplankton are autotrophs, they use solar energy, along with inorganic carbon and water to produce their own food source via photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they also produce oxygen, integral for the planet's atmospheric composition.
At their large biomass, phytoplankton contribute to a majority of the oxygen used by consumers (most animals).
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Glucose + Oxygen
Along with fossil fuels, human agricultural practices have contributed large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, This causes global warming, a major environmental crisis- global warming also leads to landmass loss, biosphere disruption and reduces biodiversity in mass extinction events.
Phytoplankton carbon cycling produces organic matter which functions as carbon sinks in our oceans. Thus, as phytoplankton use large amounts of CO2, they help combat warming cycles, along with producing O2 in atmospheric and climate regulation.
