MAKE CONNECTIONS As noted in Figure 52.15, theaddition of nutrients to a lake can cause an algal bloom.When these algae die, complex molecules in their bodiesare broken down by decomposers using aerobic respiration. Explain why this would reduce the lake’s oxygenlevels (see Concept 9.1)
Questions 6-9 are all based on the data shown here in Question 6.
The plot shows leaf-level gas exchange data for two species that differ in their photosynthetic
pathway. Each point is a different leaf measured at a different time throughout the day, but the
data were measured under the same atmospheric humidity and CO2 concentrations.

Background:
One of the main drivers of climate change is the emissions of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. This has altered the global carbon cycle. using the link below to watch https://youtu.be/xk11DVaAjEA
PROMPT:
1) What role does photosynthesis paly in the global carbon cycle?
2) What are fossil fuels and how are they altering the global carbon cycle?
3. Learn about carbon sequestration. Briefly explain what it is and how it can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Post a link an example of where/how this is being implemented.

- As CO2 concentrations increase in the atmosphere, biologists continue to explore the role of respiration from plants as a small but potentially important contribution beyond fossil fuel combustion. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant from a semiarid ecosystem in Wyoming, enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The respiration rate is the amount of CO2 in micromoles lost by the leaf per square meter per second, which results in the negative numbers. The temperature values are from the leaves as they are heated or cooled during the measurements.
