Fires: Carbon Cycle

1

Identify 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 is the purpose of decomposition?

A. to recycle nutrients back into the soil

B. to convert carbon dioxide into sugar

C. to break down glucose into ATP

D. 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.

1

Cellular respiration, decomposition, combustion, and photosynthesis are processes that drive which of the following cycles?

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

1

Carbon cycles through all of the following except

A. biosphere

B. atmosphere

C. hydrosphere

D. ecosphere

Burning fossil fuels is known as

A. decomposition

B. combustion

C. fermentation

D. translocation

1

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
