Question 5

Create a Model.

Must be original work


Create a model: That shows how a carbon moves through the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. Show the interaction of cellular respiration and photosynthesis in your model as well.
Make sure that you label the spheres and indicate where photosynthesis is taking place to get credit for your work.
For this model, you should draw the carbon cycle

Make sure you label the hydropshere, geoshpere, biosphere and atomosphere.
Label photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Question 6
6.
Consider:
If we wanted to decrease overall atmospheric CO2, how could we use the mechanisms of cellular respiration and photosynthesis to do this?

We could plant __________ trees to __________ photosynthesis. We can __________ the amount of cellular respiration that occurs by decreasing the overall temperature of the planet.
Match the spheres to the correct definition
Living things on the planet (plants, animals, et)
Atmosphere
Water on the planet
Biosphere
Gases that surround the planet
Geosphere
Rocky/sediment/soil/earthy parts of the planet
Hydrosphere
