Question

Suppose insects that feed on the plants were placed inside the growth chamber as well. Predict how this might affect the levels of CO2 in the growth chamber. How does this model, on a smaller scale, represent the cycling of carbon through Earth's systems?

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the diagram illustrating the growth chamber. However, since insects also produce/exhale carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a waste product, the level of CO₂ in the growth chamber will increase since insects will serve as an additional source for the production of CO₂.

This model shows how carbon is been cycled though the earth's systems. The CO₂ released/exhaled by animals is been inhaled by plants and used for the production of food substance like glucose (through the process of photosynthesis). Animals eat these plants and then release carbon from these food sources as CO₂ which is taken up from the environment again by plants.
