Sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. In each case, there was a different cause that dictated a different treatment. The scratchy throat probably was a mechanical problem caused by dry, heated winter air and aggravated by my friend's tendency to breathe through her mouth when she sleeps.
Definition. Carbon-storing natural feature (such as a forest or the land mass) that exchanges carbon with other reservoirs. A reservoir from which no outflow of carbon compounds takes place is called carbon sink.
The global carbon cycle is now usually divided into the following major reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange: 1  The atmosphere. 2  The terrestrial biosphere. 3  The oceans, including dissolved inorganic carbon and living and non-living marine biota.
