Question

use the Gizmo to create a path for carbon that begins and ends in the atmosphere. Fill in the steps in the path below. Then, label each location with the system it represents. Finally, summarize very briefly how the carbon atom got to that location.

Answer 1

Answer:
Volcanoes, burning fossil fuels, and respiration of organisms.
Explanation:
Volcanoes, burning fossil fuels, and respiration of organisms releases carbondioxide that forms atmospheric carbondioxide. The carbon enters in the biosphere through the process of photosynthesis. In plants, carbondioxide enters in the plant body which is used as a reactant from which food is prepared. The carbon present in the plant body in the form of glucose which can be transferred into another organism due to feeding of organisms. The organism released this carbon in the form of carbondioxide when the eaten food is broken down for the release of energy. In that way, carbon moves from biosphere to the atmosphere whereas Volcanoes and burning fossil fuels releases carbon in the atmosphere, in this way carbon moves from lithosphere to atmosphere.
