Question

Photosynthesis is a biological process in which plants convert carbon dioxide gas to carbon compounds, such as glucose. The process of photosynthesis is represented in the diagram of the carbon cycle shown here.

Which statements accurately relate photosynthesis to the other processes of the carbon cycle shown in the diagram? Select all of the correct statements.

A. Photosynthesis is the only biological process that takes up carbon dioxide.
B. Photosynthesis has the same effect on the carbon cycle as human activities.
C. Photosynthesis has the same effect on the carbon cycle as geological activities.
D. Photosynthesis is the only process that transfers carbon from the air to the biosphere.
E. Photosynthesis is the only process of the carbon cycle that involves energy.

Answer 1

Option A, E

Photosynthesis is the only biological process that takes up carbon dioxide and Photosynthesis is the only process of the carbon cycle that involves energy are statements accurately relate photosynthesis to the other processes of the carbon cycle

Explanation:

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are essential components of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways by which carbon is reclaimed in the biosphere. Carbon passes from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is appended to oxygen in a gas termed carbon dioxide.

By the medians of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is extricated from the air to create food produced from carbon for plant germination. While cellular respiration liberates carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration global aids to hold atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at constant levels.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Photosynthesis is the only biological process that takes up carbon dioxide.

E. Photosynthesis is the only process of the carbon cycle that involves energy.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is food producing process in which food molecules are produced by using solar radiation. In photosynthesis, carbondioxide is absorbed by the plant from the atmosphere and water from the soil. When these two substances combine in the presence of sunlight, it produces oxygen and glucose. Glucose is stored in different parts of plant body while some oxygen is used by the plants and rest of it released in the atmosphere through stomata.
