How is metabolism part of the carbon cycle?

Metabolism involves ither using energy to build organic molecules or breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. Organic molecules contain carbon.Therefore, an organism's metabolism is part of Earth's carbon cycle.


Is carbon 14 dating radiometric dating?

Yes, carbon-14 dating is a form of radiometric dating. It relies on measuring the decay of carbon-14 isotopes in organic materials to determine their age.


Carbon chains can form branches and cross-links?

Carbon chains can indeed form branches when additional carbon atoms are attached to the main chain. Cross-links occur when the branches of different carbon chains are connected, creating a network structure. These branchings and cross-links can greatly influence the physical and chemical properties of the resulting compound.


What is a cycle diagram that shows the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Your question is very muddled but perhaps the answer you are looking for is "Krebs cycle". See related links below.


How are radioactive isotopes and their decay products used in radiometric dating?

It depends. Carbon 14 cannot be used to date rocks, but only matter of organic origin. We simply compare the ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12, and ignore the decay product (N14). As the half life of carbon 14 is 5730 years, we can (with the older equipment) fairly reliably date organic material back about 10 half lives, or pretty close to 60,000 years. Uranium/uranium, uranium/thorium, and potassium/argon are three sets of long lived isotopes that are often found together, and work quite well for dating ash and rock of volcanic origin. Refer to the links for a page describing the process.

What is the second stage in cellular respiration?

The second stage of cellular respiration is the transition phase. It links glycolysis with the Kreb's cycle. At this stage, the pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions.


How can carbon be killed?

Since Carbon is an element, it is never classified as 'living' or 'dead,' and thus can never be killed.However, it is possible to change the nature carbon by adding or removing protons from the Carbon's nucleus. Since the number of protons in a nucleus determines the identity of an atom, this would effectively cause Carbon to turn into another element. This process is most commonly seen in the decay of Carbon-14, a radioactive form of Carbon that degrades into Nitrogen.If you look in the 'related links' section, you can find a short article that describes the characteristics of all elements, which will probably be very helpful in further understanding why elements are never considered living entities. You will also find an article describing the process of Carbon-14 decay.


Why does decay occur?

Radioactive decay is a natural process that occurs because a given atomic nucleus is unstable. The instability in the nucleus will eventually result in some kind of nuclear change (depending on the atom), and we call this radioactive or nuclear decay. Different radionuclides undergo different types of decay that include spontaneous fission, alpha decay and beta decay. Each of these is explained in separate questions, and they already have modestly good answers. You'll find links to those questions below, as well as links to some other Related questions.


How many e- are produced in the Krebs Cycle?

The process of glycolysis produces none but during links reaction, oxygen is required to decarboxylate pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A that produces one. Acetyle coenzyme A then reacts with oxaloacetate in the crebs cycle to form a 6 carbon molecule called citrate. citrate is then decarboxylated to a 5 carbon molecule giving off annothe C02 and NADH. the 5c compound is the decarboxylated again to form a 4 carbon compound giving off a 3rd CO2 molecule and another NADH. the 4 carbond compound form anothe 4 carbon compound giving off FADH and then forms oxaloacetate again giving off NADH.Overall from the Krebs cycle kicks out two CO2 molecules (3 including links), 3 NADH moleculas (4 Including links) and 1 FADH molecule.

What is the difference exponential growth and decay?

They are incredibly different acceleration patterns. Exponential growth is unbounded, whereas exponential decay is bounded so as to form a "dynamic equilibrium." This is why exponential decay is so typical of natural processes. To see work I have done in explaining exponential decay, go to the page included in the related links.
