Naily [24]

Answer: D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle or Kreb's cycle is the part of the cellular respiration. It is a sequence of chemical reaction which is used by all the aerobic organisms so as to store energy by the process of acetyl CoA oxidation derived by the process of fats, proteins and carbohydrates into forms like carbon dioxide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The acetyl CoA is used in the process of synthesis of fatty acids. The citrate is used for the synthesis of cholestrol. The oxaloacetate and alpha ketogluterate are used for the synthesis of aminoacids. Succinyl CoA is used for the synthesis of poryphrins and fatty acids.

Removes carbon from air: photosynthesis by plants and algae
Release of carbon into atmosphere: respiration (animals exhale CO2), factory emissions, eruption of volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and breakdown of organic matter
Release of carbon into the soil: Shells of marine organisms form limestone, and some carbon from decomposing organisms is stored in the soil
*This isn’t every possible pathway but hopefully this will help get you started. I’m going to attach a picture of the carbon cycle (not mine) to help you visualize the process.
