Can carbon ages can be used as independent or dependent variable?

Either. You could have carbon isotope ratios as your independent and carbon age as your dependent. or You could have the carbon age of soil samples as your independent and the artefacts that you are trying to date as the dependent.


Can the water cycle occur without living organisms?

The main features water cycle would still exist if there was no life on earth, however the carbon cycle (as we know it) is dependent on life.


Is carbon a symbol of life?

carbohydrates, proteins, fats and certains vitamins have in them carbon as constituent atom for their molecules, even the very basic component of life i.e the RNA and DNA have carbon and so does every known amino acid. So vaguely it can be termed that carbon's presence is supportive evidence for life, remember the very palnts on whom our survival is dependent; themselves require carbon dioxide to produce food for them as well as for us too(though unknowingly)


What are gas of the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Carbon Dioxide


Carbon dioxide molecules enter the light-dependent reactions from the atmosphere?

Actually, carbon dioxide molecules enter the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) of photosynthesis, not the light-dependent reactions. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose with the help of ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.


What is the source of carbon for the light dependent reactions?

The source of carbon for the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. In these reactions, carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules by using energy from sunlight.


Why is soil dependent on plants?

Plant life is dependent on soil because plants are rooted in the soil and get their life-sustaining nutrients from it.


Normally reactions that depend on enzymes are strongly temperature-dependent. Are the carbon-assimilating steps dependent on enzymes?

Yes, carbon-assimilating steps in photosynthesis, such as the Calvin cycle, are indeed dependent on enzymes. These enzymes facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic molecules, such as glucose, in a series of biochemical reactions. Changes in temperature can affect the activity of these enzymes and consequently impact the overall rate of photosynthesis.


What are the steps in light-dependent reaction?

Oxygen turns into six part carbon sugars


How does carbon affect life on earth?

Carbon is essential to life. Life could not exist without it
