Question

Describe two paths carbon dioxide can take through the carbon cycle.

Answer 1

B.) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is carried through the ocean with precipitation and plants also use carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original answer choices for this question are the following:

A.) Carbon cycle ends when carbon dioxide is released when plants die and decompose.

B.) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is carried through the ocean with precipitation and plants also use carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for photosynthesis.

C.) Carbon dioxide travels through the atmosphere through photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

D.) Plants use carbon dioxide to perform cellular respiration and release carbon dioxide as a by-product.

Some of you may have different answer choices, so please be careful and read over the list I put in case your question is different from mine. I answered this correctly on a Biology test, so I hope this comes to your help! :)

Answer 2

When animals undergo the process of cellular respiration, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When animals die and start to decay aided by organisms called decomposers, carbon dioxide is also emitted into the atmosphere. When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide yet again enters the atmosphere.
