<span>Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back intocarbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, incellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.</span>
The following choices are provided;
- Earthquakes release phosphorus.
- Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
- Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
- Phosphorus is transpired.
The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus
Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide used during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules built from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.
