Question

17 multiple answer 2 points which of the following account for most increases in population size? (choose all that apply) births immigration emigration deaths 18 multiple choice 2 points convert atmospheric carbon (co₂) into organic carbon compounds. primary consumers herbivores plants humans 19 categorization 2 points determine if the process represents a change from organic to inorganic carbon or from an inorganic form to organic carbon. inorganic to organic organic to inorganic no answers chosen no answers chosen possible answers fossil fuel combustion photosynthesis decomposition animal respiration fossil fuel combustion photosynthesis decomposition animal respiration

Explanation:

• For question 17, births add new individuals to the population and immigration brings in individuals from outside, increasing population size. Emigration reduces population size and deaths decrease it.
• For question 18, plants perform photosynthesis to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic carbon compounds.
• For question 19, photosynthesis converts inorganic carbon (CO₂) to organic carbon. Fossil - fuel combustion, decomposition, and animal respiration convert organic carbon to inorganic carbon (CO₂).

Answer:

1. births, immigration
2. Plants
3. fossil fuel combustion: organic to inorganic; photosynthesis: inorganic to organic; decomposition: organic to inorganic; animal respiration: organic to inorganic
