environment. Read the questions below about carbon and number your answers in your response.
1. Where are two places that carbon is found in the environment?
2. How is carbon involved in the process of photosynthesis?
3. How is carbon involved in the process of cellular respiration?
4. How is carbon involved in the process of decomposition?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Atmosphere and ecosystem

2. Carbon/CO2 is absorbed by the plants and then released as oxygen.

3. Carbon is used in the cellular respiration process to make ATP.

4. Decomposers break down dead material and release CO2 in that process into the atmosphere for plants to use that carbon for photosynthesis again.
