<u>Question</u>:

Assuming the carbon cycle is a closed system, which of the following statements is true?

A. Mass and energy are conserved in the carbon cycle.  

B. As population sizes increase, more carbon is produced.  

C. When all the fossil fuels are used up, there will be no more carbon.  

D. The Sun absorbs energy from the carbon cycle.    

<u>Answer</u>:

A. mass and energy are conserved in the carbon cycle.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Carbon is always taken as closed system where neither any gain of energy or lost of it can be seen. It can just be transferred from one type to another. This can also be concluded as the energy being transferred to the atmosphere and comes back to the surface of the earth. As we know that the planets and the atmosphere together constitute a closed surrounding, so as the amount of carbon will not change, just change its form.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Which of the following characteristics, structures, or processes is common to both bacteria and viruses? A. Metabolism B. Riboso
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

<span>Small annual plants will easily grow after a flood since it was small and rapidly growing. They also died fast, which makes them reproduce quickly. If the condition is harsh with less soil, l</span>ichen will be the most easier to survive. Pine and oak are strong trees that will be formed last.
