No, carbon can move between different reservoirs such as the atmosphere, plants, soil, and oceans through processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The movement of carbon is part of the carbon cycle and can vary depending on environmental conditions and human activities.

What is Sympathomedullary pathway?

neurons fromthe symathetic system (SNS) go to to almost every organ and gland within the body. The parasympathetic system (SAM) at the same time as the sympathetic system (SNS) is activated. The SAM system alerts the animal (whatever it it is) through the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream and together these two systems make up the SYMPATHOMEDULLARY PATHWAY.


A scientist doing research found that flower color and pollen shape were traits that were always passed together. That is they did not fit Mendel's rule for independent assortment. Why might that be?

the 2 genes are carried on the same chromosome


What is the modern word for fixed air?

carbon dioxide. (experiment by: Jason Priestly) He put a mouse in a jar, the mouse couldn't breathe. Then he put a plant in the same jar as the mouse, and the mouse could breathe!


What is the main role the esophagus plays in the body?

The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach and serves as a pathway for food and liquids to travel from the mouth to the stomach through a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis. Its main function is to transport food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach for digestion.


What gases move into or out of our bodies by diffusion?

Oxygen moves into our bodies by diffusion, while carbon dioxide moves out of our bodies by the same process. Oxygen is taken in by our cells for cellular respiration, while carbon dioxide is the waste product produced by this process and is expelled from the body.

Does light always travel at the same speed in all mediums?

No, light does not always travel at the same speed in all mediums. Its speed can vary depending on the medium it is passing through.


What is law described by the fact that carbon dioxide consists of 27.3 carbon and 72.7oxygen by mass?

This is described by the law of definite proportions, which states that a chemical compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass. In the case of carbon dioxide, the ratio of carbon to oxygen by mass will always be 27.3% carbon and 72.7% oxygen.

A closed pathway where teh start and end points are the same is called an electric circuit.

Carbon 12 and carbon 13 are different in the number of what?

Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.


What do the isomers of pentane always have?

All pentane isomers have always 5 carbon atoms. Besides that, there are 12 hydrogens: C5H12, except cyclopentane (C5H10).


How far does a loggerhead sea turtle travel?

Sea turles can travel thousands of miles in their lifetime, but always return to the same beaches to lay their eggs, year after year.


Examples of the law of definite composition?

The law of definite composition states that chemical compounds always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass. For example, water always consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a 2:1 ratio by mass. Additionally, carbon dioxide always contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio by mass.


What does it mean to have a definite chemical composition?

It means that the proportions of each element in the compound are always the same. Put another way, the formula is always the same. Water is always H2O because it is made (composed) of two hydrogens to one oxygen. If there are different proportions, then it is a different substance, or doesn't exist. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, which is very different from water. Carbon dioxide is always CO2, i.e. one carbon to two oxygens, and if there is only one of each, CO, that's the deadly poison carbon monoxide.


Do waves always move at the same speed?

No, waves do not always move at the same speed. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling. For example, sound waves travel at different speeds in air, water, and solids.


How are carbon and CO2 the same?

Carbon and carbon dioxide, CO2 are not the same. They are not even similar. Carbon is a black solid. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, gas.


How does the ocelot breath?

The ocelot breathes through its nostrils like other mammals. When it inhales, air enters through its nostrils and passes through the nasal passages into the lungs, where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide. The ocelot then exhales, releasing carbon dioxide from its lungs through the same pathway.
