Carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the different components of the Earth.
Carbon cycle along with the Nitrogen cycle and the Water cycle, comprises a sequence of events that are key to make Earth capable of sustaining life.
It describes the movement of carbon as it is recycled and reused throughout the biosphere, as well as long-term processes of carbon sequestration to and release from carbon sinks.
The terrestrial carbon cycle is dominated by the balance between photosynthesis and respiration.
Carbon is transferred from the atmosphere to soil via ‘carbon-fixing’ autotrophic organisms, mainly photosynthesizing plants and also photo- and chemoautotrophic microbes that synthesize atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic material.
Fixed carbon is then returned to the atmosphere by a variety of different pathways that account for the respiration of both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms.
The reverse route includes decomposition of organic material by ‘organic carbon-consuming’ heterotrophic microorganisms that utilize the carbon of either plant, animal or microbial origin as a substrate for metabolism, retaining some carbon in their biomass and releasing the rest as metabolites or as CO2 back to the atmosphere.
What is the role of soil organisms in the Carbon Cycle?Soil Organisms or Microbes are critical in the process of breaking down and transforming dead organic material into forms that can be reused by other organisms and thus the microbial enzyme systems involved are viewed as key ‘engines’ that drive the Earth's biogeochemical cycles.
Soil microbes essentially transfer carbon between environmental compartments to fulfil their fundamental goal: survival through reproduction.
Thus, microbes utilize different organic and inorganic forms of carbon as carbon and energy sources.

(1 point)
0. chloroplast
O mitochondria
O cytoplasm
o nucleus
Answer:
mitochondria
Explanation:
-The aerobic phases of cellular respiration in eukaryotes occur within organelles called mitochondria. These aerobic phases are the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain.
The Kreb's cycle and the electron transport chain take place in the MITOCHONDRIA.
Cellular respiration is an aerobic process, i.e., a metabolic process that requires oxygen (O2) by which energy from foods is used to synthesize ATP, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). The three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, Kreb's cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle), and the electron transport chain.Glycolysis is an anaerobic pathway (i.e., does not require O2) and occurs in the cytoplasm.The Kreb's cycle and the electron transport chain (ETC) are both aerobic processes that occur in the intern membrane of the mitochondria.In conclusion, Kreb's cycle and the electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria.

if your leg was to get cut off where would you feel the pain?
The thigh area will feel much more pain as when leg is cut off , all nerves are together in thighs, so more pain will be there.
Hope it helps you... pls mark brainliest if it helped you
Answer:
The nerve(s) in your leg.
Explanation:
It's not your leg that will hurt but the nerve in your leg. So wherever the leg is cut, the nerves will have to be cut as well, but also after one of your limbs is amputated, you may feel like the limb is still there. That's called phantom sensation. You might feel pain in your limb even though it is physically not there.

p.s I will give brainless
Explanation:
Global human population growth is around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012.
Although the direst consequences of human population growth have not yet been realized, exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely.
In the late 1970s, China’s “one-child” policy tried to control population growth, but restrictions were relaxed in the early 2000s.
Use your knowledge of Protein Synthesis, and the provided chart, to identify the
correct Amino Acid sequence from the mRNA strand: AGUUGGUCUGUA
A: serine, tryptophan, serine, valine
B: aspartic acid, valine, leucine, asparagine
C: leucine, histinde, glutamic acid, leucine
D: serine, threonine, arginine, aspartic acid
Answer:
A: serine, tryptophan, serine, valine
Explanation:
Hi there!
Protein Synthesis is the process where proteins are created from DNA.
We are given the mRNA strand AGUUGGUCUGUA, as well as a provided chart
The mRNA strand is created out of nucleotides (each of the letters is one nucleotide in the code), which will code for a specific chain of amino acids, creating a protein.
Each amino acid is made up of 3 nucleotides. This sequence of 3 nucleotides is called a codon.
So we can break up the code into groups of 3, to make identifying the codons easier.
AGU UGG UCU GUA
Now we need to figure out which amino acid each codon codes for. Thankfully, we were given a chart that can help us with that.
The chart is read where the first base is on the left, and is vertical. The second base is in the center, yet is horizontal. The third base is on the right, and is also vertical.
Let's start with the first codon, which is AGU
The first base is A. The second base is G, and the third base is U. So the first amino acid is serine (ser)
The second codon is UGG.
The first base is U, the second base is G, and the third base is G. So the second amino acid is tryptophan (trp)
The third codon is UCU
The first base is U, the second base is C, and the third base is U. So the third amino acid is serine (ser)
The fourth codon is GUA
The first base is G, the second base is U, and the third base is A. So the fourth amino acid is valine (val).
That means the amino acid sequence from the mRNA code is: serine, tryptophan, serine, valine. The answer is A

What is the function of a chloroplast? A. Gamete production B. Cellular respiration C. Fermentation D. Photosynthesis
Answer:
So i had these notes from a couple of days ago and I’d like to help u out
Explanation:
Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide enters through the leaf which contains small pours called stomata. The carbon dioxide then enters the cells of the leaf.
Inside the cell carbon dioxide diffuses into the chloroplasts. Where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplasts use energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
The light reactions
Inside chloroplasts there are these flat membranous sacs called thylakoids.
Thylakoids are the place were light energy is converted into chemical energy in the first phase of photosynthesis the light reactions.
Photosystems
Photosystems are large complexes of proteins and chlorophyll (capture light energy)
Electron transport chain
This chain connects the two photosystems.
Electron carrier
These shuttle (transport that is mainly between 2 things going back and forth) electrons from one photosystem to another
Photosystem
One of the photosystems are used to absorb energy which then excites the electrons that then enter the electron transport chain. These electrons are replaced with electrons stripped from water creating oxygen as a byproduct.
The electrons on the chain
The energised electrons are flowing down the electron transport chain releasing energy that is used to pump hydrogen ions
Hydrogen ions
An atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss of one loss or one gained electron.
The electrons on the chain
As the hydrogen ions get pumped out they are then absorbed into the thylakoids
In the photosystem on the right light energy excites electrons and this time the electrons are captured by an electron carrier molecule also known as NADPH
The high concentration of hydrogen ions inside the thylakoid powers ATP synthase producing ATPS the light reactions in the thylakoid have produced two products, ATP and NADPH.
Those two products then power the production of sugar in the Calvin cycle
THE CALVIN CYCLE (C3 Cycle)
The Calvin cycle takes place outside the thylakoids in the stroma (the thick fluid of the chloroplast).
At the beginning of the cycle
carbon dioxide molecules combine with molecules called rubp the resulting molecules go through a series of reactions powered by ATP and NADPH from the light reactions sugar molecules known as g3ps are produced.
G3ps
Most of the g3ps molecules are rearranged back into rubp’s that begin the calving cycle again.
The important product
Then some of the left over g3ps is the remaining g3p sugar, some g3ps are used to build glucose which can then combine into starch or even cellulose
Bits of left over g3ps are also able to break down by cellular respiration, which uses oxygen in the plants own mitochondria, this generates ATPS that can power other work of the plant.
The left overs
Excess oxygen diffuses out of the leaf through the pores while more carbon dioxide goes into the leaf pores.
Your welcome
