Matter is constantly cycled between living and non living parts of the environment. Processes like photosynthesis and respiration allow the carbon cycle to regenerate needed substances by recycling earth’s atoms. A diagram of the carbon cycle is shown. Each arrow represents a process in the cycle. Which explanation best describes the process in the cycle. Which explanation best describes the process that occurs at the arrow marked B?
A) plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose
B) plants release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose
C) plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of cellular respiration to convert glucose to atp energy
D) plants release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the process of cellular respiration to convert glucose to atp energy

- As the sun shines on Earth, plants use its energy to complete the process of photosynthesis. Energy is transformed during the process into chemical energy in the form of sugars, such as carbohydrates. However, the energy available at top consumers is much less than that produced by autotrophs. Why is this so?arrow_forwardWithout carbon dioxide, which part of photosynthesis could not proceed? A) light-dependent reactions B) Calvin cycle C) photosystem I D) photosystem II E) electron transportarrow_forwardWhen making bread with common yeast, the reaction starts as an aerobic process and then becomes an anaerobic process after the oxygen is spent. A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and, thus, no cytochrome c protein. This will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy. What will this yeast strain do more of, compared to a normal strain? A. electron transport B. carbon dioxide production C. fermentation D. ATP synthesisarrow_forward
