As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
decomposition |
|
evaporation |
|
photosynthesis |
|
sedimentation |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
Convert -20C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
expressed |
|

|
all of these |

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive. A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.
