ILL GIVE 50 POINTS IF U ANSWER NOW Chris wrote a few steps to describe how carbon circulates between the ground and living organisms.

Step 1. Trees absorb carbon dioxide in the air and use it to make their own food using photosynthesis.
Step 2. When plants or animals die, they are broken down by decomposers and their carbon returns to the soil.
Step 3. Carbon stays in the ground for long-term storage as fossilized carbon.

If step 1 is removed, which statement best describes the effects of this missing step on the carbon cycle?

More carbon is stored in the ground for long-term storage.
Less carbon is available for plant and animal growth.
More carbon is stored in plants instead of the ground.
There are more fossil fuels available for energy use.

i believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. the scientists need to look at the   validity of data, claims, hypotheses, and observations before  developing an argument. they base their arguments on facts that are present and they make sure they have proofs. 

explanation:

this is true, assuming that the allele is completely recessive and incomplete dominance is not a factor.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
