Question

match the term from the carbon cycle to its definition.
combustion
extraction
assimilation
sedimentation
photosynthesis
respiration
dissolution
the act or process of burning carbon - containing organic
using the suns energy to synthesize glucose from
inorganic molecules
digging and drilling for fossil fuels by humans
an element is incorporated into organisms tissues.
the act or process of burning carbon - containing organic
compounds in the presence of oxygen, which releases
carbon dioxide in the process.
organisms harness the energy contained within glucoses
chemical bonds, transferring it to atp, a high - energy
molecule.
organisms containing carbon settle to the ocean floor or
to the ground.

Explanation:

Combustion is the act of burning carbon - containing organic matter. Extraction is digging and drilling for fossil fuels by humans. Assimilation is when an element is incorporated into organisms' tissues. Sedimentation is organisms containing carbon settling to the ocean floor or ground. Photosynthesis is using the sun's energy to synthesize glucose from inorganic molecules. Respiration is organisms harnessing the energy contained within glucose's chemical bonds, transferring it to ATP, a high - energy molecule. Dissolution is the act or process of carbon - containing organic compounds in the presence of oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide in the process.
