Question

match the term from the carbon cycle to its definition. combustion extraction assimilation sedimentation photosynthesis respiration dissolution dissolving gaseous carbon dioxide into water to form carbonic acid, which is reversible. 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.

Explanation:

Dissolution: Dissolving gaseous carbon dioxide into water to form carbonic acid, which is reversible.
Respiration: Organisms harness the energy contained within glucose's chemical bonds, transferring it to ATP, a high - energy molecule.
Photosynthesis: Using the sun's energy to synthesize glucose from inorganic molecules.
Sedimentation: Digging and drilling for fossil fuels by humans (this is related to the process of sedimentation in the context of fossil fuel formation where organic matter is buried and sedimented over time).
Assimilation: An element is incorporated into organisms' tissues.
Extraction: The act or process of burning carbon - containing organic compounds in the presence of oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide in the process.
Combustion: The act or process of burning carbon - containing organic compounds in the presence of oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide in the process.
