Which of the following is NOT a process that drives the carbon cycle?
stiks02 [169]

"Ammonification" is NOT a process that drives the carbon cycle.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The organisms circulate carbon-di-oxide in carbon cycle by going through respiration, decomposition, sedimentation, and photosynthesis process but not ammonification. Basically the actual source of nitrogen is agricultural, when a plant or animal passes or an animal disperses waste.

In the remains, bacteria or fungi turn the organic nitrogen back into ammonium, a cycle called ammonisation or mineralisation. Then the micro-organisms generate metabolically required energy from organic nitrogen oxidation into ammonium. Ammonium is then essential for assimilation and absorption into amino acids or for use in other metabolic applications.
