HURRY I ONLY GOT 20 MINS!! 100 pints

Analyze the given diagram of carbon cycle below.

An image of carbon cycle is shown. The sun, a cloud, two trees, one on the left and the other on the right, an animal, lake, and a factory are shown in the image. An arrow is shown from the sun towards the left tree marked A. The sun is marked B. There is an arrow from the air above the clouds, marked C, towards the left tree. An arrow from a location close to the ground marked D points towards Dead Organisms, which is a label under the animal. An arrow marked E points from the right tree straight up to the clouds. An arrow marked F points from the animal straight up to the clouds. An arrow marked G points from the factory towards the air above the clouds, C. There is an arrow pointing from the air to the lake labeled Carbonates in Water, an arrow pointing down from dead organisms to Fossils and Fossil Fuels, and an arrow from Fossils to the factory.

Part 1: What is happening at location G?
Part 2: Which type of energy transformation is taking place at this location?
Part 3: Justify why this process is a recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle.

Use complete sentences to explain your answer.

Answer:

This is too difficult to read and understand... if you had a diagram I could be able to help more, but I can't figure out exactly what your asking... all I know is part A is CO2 being released into the atmosphere...

Hope you have a great day and if you have a diagram let me know.. I'd love to help :D

Answer:

Part I

At location G, the process of combustion is taking place where hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as the products.

CxHy = CO₂ + H₂O

Part II

At point G there is no transformation of energy since during the process of combustion energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon Iv oxide and the water produced during the reaction.

Part III

The process shows recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle. This is because carbon from living organisms is cycled to non living organisms. When plants and animals die and are buried deep in the ground, they are then slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds. Then the fossils are used in the industries and undergoes combustion releasing carbon iv oxide which is then released to the atmosphere and used by the plants and animals. The process starts once again.

I got it from the same question that was answered.
