5 categorization 1 point use page 3 of the carbon cycle lab sheet. sort each of these into either a physical process, or a biological/chemical process of the carbon cycle physical process in carbon cycle no answers chosen chemical / biological process in the carbon cycle no answers chosen possible answers respiration / photosynthesis assimilation combustion cycling extraction decomposition sedimentation
Respiration/photosynthesis, assimilation, combustion, decomposition are chemical/biological processes as they involve chemical - reactions or biological activities. Sedimentation is a physical process as it involves the settling of particles based on physical forces like gravity. Cycling and extraction are more general terms; extraction can be a physical or chemical process depending on the method, but in the context of carbon - cycle, if it refers to mining fossil fuels, it is more of a physical action for the initial step. Cycling is a broad term but here we assume it refers to the movement of carbon which can have both physical and chemical/biological aspects, but for the purpose of this categorization, it's hard - to - define strictly.
