Question

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each activity with the sphere to which it adds carbon or CO2.

a) Burying organisms
b) Respiration of marine life
c) Photosynthesis
Options:
A) Biosphere
B) Atmosphere
C) Hydrosphere
D) Geosphere

Answer 1

Burying organisms adds carbon to the Geosphere, the respiration of marine life adds carbon to the Biosphere and Hydrosphere, and photosynthesis removes carbon from the Atmosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves matching each activity with the sphere to which it adds carbon or CO2. The pairs are as follows:

• Burying organisms - Adds carbon to the Geosphere
• Respiration of marine life - Adds carbon to the Biosphere and Hydrosphere
• Photosynthesis - Removes carbon from the Atmosphere by converting CO2 into organic compounds

The biogeochemical carbon cycle is a journey carbon takes through the land, water, and air. Carbon stored in various carbon reservoirs connects all life forms on Earth. Photosynthesis and respiration are crucial biological processes that contribute to this cycle by exchanging carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere.
