Which of the following is considered assimilation in the carbon cycle?

a. the respiration of a animal
b. a factory burning fossil fuels
c. a plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
d. fossil fuel deposits

A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide diffuses from the atmosphere through the stomata across the intercellular spaces to the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions forming glucose. The carbon in the atmosphere is assimilated into plants reducing the amount of carbon that might lead to global warming.

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up

the answer is true when observing or determining population size, a direct observation is use, in which each organism is counted in a population or in an area. one benefit of this measure is that you get the exact population count but it will take a long time to  determine  the  size  of a  population.
