Question

What process does the purple arrow indicate? CarbonCycleAQ1 A. Respiration. B. Photosynthesis. C. Combustion. D. Decomposition.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Photosynthesis".

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process at which land plants produce energy from carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. This process is essential for plants, but also for all other living beings because photosynthesis allow plants to produce their own food (while other living beings feed from plants), as well as the production of oxygen as byproduct. The purple arrow indicate the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide by land plants, which belongs to the photosynthesis process. I attached the missing picture.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

The process in purple arrow indicate the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is carried out by green plants and it involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to synthesize glucose. The light energy needed for the reaction is absorbed by the green component of plants, the chlorophyll.

The process is summarized by the equation:

$6CO_2 + 6H_20 + (energy) --> C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

Hence, the purple arrow represents the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the vegetation as a precursor for photosynthesis.

The correct option is B.
