Carbon is stored in the biosphere as living organisms; in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas; in the lithosphere as soil organic matter, as fossil fuel deposits, and as sedimentary rock deposits; and in the oceans as dissolved carbon dioxide gas and as calcium carbonate shells in marine organisms.

Ciclo del carbono. El carbono es elemento básico en la formación de las moléculas de carbohidratos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos, pues todas las moléculas orgánicas están formadas por cadenas de carbonos enlazados entre sí. La reserva fundamental de carbono, en moléculas de CO2 que los seres vivos puedan asimilar, es la atmósfera y la hidrosfera. Este gas está en la atmósfera en una concentración de más del 0,03% y cada año aproximadamente un 5% de estas reservas de CO2, se consumen en los procesos de fotosíntesis, es decir que todo el anhídrido carbónico se renueva en la atmósfera cada 20 años. 3, record 6, Spanish, - ciclo%20del%20carbono

In a ruby laser, a rod of ruby is irradiated with the intense flash of light from xenon-filled flashtubes. Light in the green and blue regions of the spectrum is absorbed by chromium ions, raising the energy of electrons of the ions from the ground state level to one of the broad F bands of levels. Electrons in the F bands rapidly undergo non-radiative transitions to the two metastable E levels. A non-radiative transition does not result in the emission of light; the energy released in the transition is dissipated as heat in the ruby crystal. 2, record 10, English, - non%2Dradiative%20tansition

The BLOCKS tutor(Brown and Burton, 1978b) is based on a game in manipulatory mathematics that uses the concept of(attribute blocks)(Greenes et al., 1972) to exercise the student's deductive abilities of the type necessary for(troubleshooting.) In the game as implemented, a block is defined by three attributes : its size(large or small), its color(red, yellow, green, or blue), and its shape(triangle, square, circle, or diamond). In the card A and card B each state one attribute value(e. g., large) or the negation of a value(e. g., not blue). Thus they each define a set of blocks. These two sets, with their union and their intersection, define four areas as shown in the diagram. The contents of the two cards are not shown to the student, who must deduce them by a sequence of queries. For each query, he chooses one block and asks the system in which of the four areas the block should be placed according to the cards’ contents. If each new block is chosen judiciously, knowing where it belongs narrows the range of possible values for the cards until these values are uniquely determined. The skill of the game is then to select blocks whose placement is expected to provide a maximum of information about the cards. This is analogous to selecting optimal measurements in(troubleshooting.) 1, record 12, English, - attribute%20block
