Phytoplankton are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. How do they affect the global carbon cycle?

Biology

Ksju [112]3 years ago

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are microscopic creatures that are primary producers of oceans. Phytoplanktons take carbon dioxide from atmosphere to make their food and then they are eaten by some other animals of oceans.

Phytoplanktons are present in huge numbers in oceans and have a great contribution to the carbon cycle because it is responsible for the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the oceans.  

Most of the carbon is released through combustion by animals that eat phytoplanktons but some accumulate in the ocean floor because some dead phytoplanktons settles down in the ocean.

During the Human Genome Project, scientists created a gene map showing the relative location of each known gene on every human c
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Approximately 20,500 genes

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year international research effort aimed at determining the entire DNA sequence of the human genome. The HGP was launched in 1990 and completed in April 2013. This project helped to identify and physically map all the genes of the human genome. The sequence obtained from the HGP has been a very useful point of reference in order to identify and characterize mutations associated with genetic disorders. The HGP predicted approximately 20,500 genes (each of them produces an average of three proteins), which are distributed in the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells of our body.

Glycolysis is an example of a metabolic pathway that is utilized by all human body tissues. Other pathways are much more promine
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

1. Liver

2. Liver and Kidneys

3. Mitochondria

4. Lumen of the small intestines

5. Liver

Explanation:

1. Glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate which is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis, this process occurs in the liver

2.   Glucose 6-phosphate is a product of a process named gluconeogenesis which occurs in the liver it serves as a substrate for glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver.

3. Creatinine kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine. In regeneration process of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP which produces ATP and creatine

4. Initially lipase digestion lipase digestion happens in the small intestine where the bile salts reduce the surface tension of the fat droplets allowing the lipases to attack the triglyceride molecules. These molecules are taken up into the epithelial cells that line the intestinal wall, where they are resynthesized into triglyceride

5. The job of the liver is to produce ketone bodies. If the liver had this enzyme, the ketone bodies it produces would be immediately broken down by the liver before they are released, thereofore, no release of ketone bodies into the bloodstream

How does the distribution of the world's major coal reserves support the theory of plate tectonics?(1 point)
Tanya [424]

B) Around 300 million years ago, the regions where coal formed were located in tropical climates that were partially submerged on the coasts

Explanation:

The distribution of the world's major coal reserves supports the the theory of plate tectonics because the regions where they formed were in tropical climates around 300 million years ago.

Coal is a fossil fuel used to produce energy when burnt.

They are formed in tropical swamps where there is luxuriant plants life.

To form a coal, a terrain such as swamp must have rich plant life. The plant is rapidly buried and cut off from the oxic environment. Further burial under heat and pressure transforms the plant matter into coal.

  • The major reserves of coal in the world today is found in Europe and North America
  • These are temperate regions whose conditions do not favor the formation of coal.
  • Those regions must have moved from around the equator to their present day position.
  • The coal formed when they were much closer to the equator around 300 million years ago.
