The arrows in the chart above represent the movement of carbon between four reservoirs: the ocean, plants, fossil fuels, and the atmosphere. the numbers in the blue boxes show the gigatons of carbon moving each year. more carbon is moving into the vegetation for photosynthesis than is moving out to the atmosphere via respiration. this means that the vegetation reservoir is a carbon sink, taking in more carbon from the atmosphere than it is releasing to the atmosphere. a carbon source is the opposite. a reservoir that behaves as a carbon source releases more carbon to the atmosphere than it takes in. consider the statements listed here. do they accurately describe potential changes in the model? deforestation would result in a decrease in the carbon sink. increased use of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy would result in a decrease in released or sourced carbon. if we consider non-industrialized countries, the model would remain the same. if global warming continues, we would expect a change in the amount of carbon found in the ocean reservoir. combustion of fossil fuels acts as a carbon sink. all carbon in the atmosphere is made by humans

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).
