PLEASE COPY AND PASTE IT SO YOU DON'T GET IT WRONG!! photosynthesisCO2 in the atmospherecombustionanimal respirationfossil fuelsdead organisms and waste productsplant respiration CO2 in the atmosphere combustion plant respiration animal respiration dead organisms and waste products fossil fuels photosynthesis Processes involved in the Carbon Cycle Match the name of the processes with their correct description. Photosynthesis process used by producers to convert solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water into sugars and oxygen Cellular respiration process by which heterotrophs convert chemical energy and oxygen into water, carbon dioxide, and ATP. Decomposition process by which organisms breakdown into organic compounds Combustion process by which carbon dioxide is released from fossil fuels Which of the following is true about the carbon cycle? Combustion reduces carbon dioxide gas. Respiration uses carbon dioxide gas. Decomposition recycles the carbon compounds in nature and produces carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and makes organic matter. Which of the following increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? increased photosynthesis reduction of cellular respiration increased usage of fossil fuels increase in waste elimination by animals Which of the following would decrease the amount of excess carbon dioxide released into the carbon cycle? deforestation reduction of the use of fossil fuels increased cellular respiration by animals reduction in the photosynthetic activity of aquatic producers How humans disrupted a cycle essential to all life? Which of the following way is not applicable to carbon level reduction? Carbon sequestration Re-Planting Direct capture Hunting Sort the table below with the correct processes. Adds carbon to atmosphere Combustion Factory emissions Respiration Removes carbon from atmosphere Photosynthesis Fill in the blanks. Returning carbon dioxide to the atmosphereCarbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere throughrespirationby animals, plants and microorganisms. It is also released by thecombustionof wood andfossil fuels(such as coal, oil and natural gas). The use of fossil fuels is gradually increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.Decomposition or decay also releases carbon dioxide. This process happens faster in warm, moist conditions with plenty of oxygen because it involves microorganisms. Decay can be very slow in cold, dry conditions, and when there is a shortage of oxygen. Which substances contain carbon? Glucose but not cellulose Proteins and Fats Proteins but not amino acids Why is carbon such an important element? Because carbon is a key element in producing electricity Because without carbon the Sun would run out of energy Because carbon is the central element to all living organisms
