Question

Create: Click Reset. Use the Gizmo to create a path in which the carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere. Describe each transition briefly.

Answer 1

Answer:

From the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by diffusion.

From the atmosphere to the biosphere by photosynthesis.

From the atmosphere to the geosphere by rainfall.

Explanation:

Carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere by the process of diffusion because there is high concentration of carbondioxide present in the atmosphere. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the biosphere by the process of photosynthesis in plants which uses carbondioxide gas as a raw material in the process for the preparation of organic compounds such as glucose. The carbon atom goes from the atmosphere to the geosphere with the help of rain. When carbondioxide gas react with water in the atmosphere, carbonic acid is formed and comes to the ground through rainfall.
