Question
this model of the carbon cycle shows the continuous movement of carbon atoms between the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. some processes store carbon while others release it. evaluate the processes shown in the carbon cycle. which process removes carbon from the atmosphere? a combustion b decomposition c photosynthesis d cellular respiration
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon - dioxide from the atmosphere, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. In this process, carbon - dioxide (carbon in the atmosphere) is taken in and used to make organic compounds. Combustion releases carbon into the atmosphere as carbon - dioxide. Decomposition also releases carbon into the atmosphere as organic matter breaks down. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy, also releasing carbon - dioxide into the atmosphere.
