Bio Connections Carbon Cycle

1

Name two ways that carbon (usually in the form of CO₂) enters the atmosphere.

1

Process D on the diagrm uses CO_² from the atmosphere. Identify the process labeled D.

A. combustion

B. photosynthesis

C. respiration

D. decay

1

What oranisms carry out the process labeled D?

A. animals

B. bacteria

C. plants

D. fungi

1

Wastes and dead organisms must be broken down in order for their components to be used again. What organisms carry out decomposition?

A. herbivores

B. plants

C. fungi, bacteria, and worms

D. carnivores

1

What would happen if decomposition did not occur?

A. nutrients would not be recycled into the soil

B. plants would not be able to convert carbon dioxide into sugar

C. animals would not be able to breath

D. plants would not be able to make oxygen

1

Not all dead organisms are acted on by decomposers. Instead of being immediately recycled, the carbon from some organisms is kept in a type of long-term storage or carbon sink. Click on 3 materials that are carbon sinks.

A. carbon cycle

B. nitrogen cyle

C. phosophorus cycle

D. transcription

1

Leaves fall from trees in autumn. The carbon in these leaves is returned to the atmosphere through which of the following processes?

A. condenstation

B. decomposition

C. photosynthesis

D. transcription

Burning fossil fuels is known as

A. decomposition

B. combustion

C. fermentation

D. translocation

Which of the following are mainly cycled through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

A. carbon and sulfur

B. carbon and oxygen

C. nitrogen and sulfur

D. nitrogen and oxygen
