Question

humans affect the carbon cycle in many ways through the use of fossil fuels, clear cutting of forests, and controlled burns. which process can help counteract these human interactions?
photosynthesis
respiration
decomposition
building proteins

Explanation:

Photosynthesis takes in carbon - dioxide from the atmosphere and uses it to produce glucose and oxygen. Fossil fuel use and deforestation increase carbon - dioxide in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis helps remove this extra carbon - dioxide, counteracting human - induced disruptions to the carbon cycle. Respiration releases carbon - dioxide, decomposition also releases carbon in different forms, and building proteins is not directly related to counteracting carbon - cycle disruptions from fossil fuel use and deforestation.

Answer:

A. photosynthesis
