Question

Help, I cant do it by myself and I really need this done. Please.

Part One

Text Version
Image shows a lake, a factory, a cloud in the sky, a cow, dead organisms, a tree, and the sun. An arrow from the sun to the tree is labeled A. An arrow from the sky to the tree is labeled B. The sky is labeled C above the cloud. The letter D is in the air and an arrow points from it down to dead organisms. An arrow points from dead organisms to the ground labeled E. An arrow points from the cow into to the sky labeled F. An arrow points from the factory to the sky labeled G. An arrow from the sky to the lake is labeled H above the lake.

Using the diagram above, match the description to the corresponding location in the carbon cycle model. Provide the letter only.
Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food.
Location:
Carbon trapped in fossil fuels is converted to carbon dioxide.
Location:
Organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels.
Location:
Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates.
Location:
Sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide.
Location:


Part Two

Text Version
Images shows a lake labeled carbonates in water, a cow labeled animal respiration, a tree labeled photosynthesis, a factory labeled factory emissions, the sun labeled sunlight, a cloud labeled carbon dioxide in atmosphere, another tree labeled plant respiration, an arrow from organic carbon to dead organism, and fossils and fossil fuels. Arrows are labeled as follows: A from the sunlight to photosynthesis, B from carbon dioxide in atmosphere to photosynthesis, C from factory emissions to carbon dioxide in atmosphere, D from carbon dioxide in atmosphere to carbonates in water, E from dead organisms to fossils and fossil fuels, and F from plant respiration to the sky.





Using the diagram above, answer the following questions:
True or False. The arrow labeled C represents a transfer of chemical energy to mechanical energy. Explain why this is true or false.

True or False. The arrow labeled A represents a transfer of solar energy to chemical energy. Explain why this is true or false.

Which arrow or arrows represent a release of carbon dioxide? What process is occurring at the arrow(s) you selected?

Which arrow or arrows indicate a process that cycles carbon from living or nonliving organisms? Describe the process or processes you selected.

Which arrow or arrows represent reactions that demonstrate a conservation of mass and energy? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Part One:

Location: A - The arrow from the sun to the tree represents photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food.

Answer: A

Location: G - The arrow from the factory to the sky represents the release of carbon dioxide from factory emissions, which contributes to the conversion of carbon trapped in fossil fuels to carbon dioxide.

Answer: G

Location: E - The arrow from dead organisms to the ground represents the process where organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels over a long period of time.

Answer: E

Location: D - The arrow from the air to dead organisms represents the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonates, which can be deposited in the ocean and form rocks over millions of years.

Answer: D

Location: F - The arrow from the cow to the sky represents animal respiration, where sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide.

Answer: F

Part Two:

True or False. The arrow labeled C represents a transfer of chemical energy to mechanical energy. Explain why this is true or false.

False. The arrow labeled C represents the transfer of chemical energy (carbon dioxide) from the factory emissions to the atmosphere. There is no mechanical energy involved in this process.

True or False. The arrow labeled A represents a transfer of solar energy to chemical energy. Explain why this is true or false.

True. The arrow labeled A represents photosynthesis, where solar energy is used to convert carbon dioxide into chemical energy in the form of sugar.

Which arrow or arrows represent a release of carbon dioxide? What process is occurring at the arrow(s) you selected?

Arrows C and F represent a release of carbon dioxide. Arrow C represents the release of carbon dioxide from factory emissions, while arrow F represents animal respiration where sugar is broken down to release carbon dioxide.

Which arrow or arrows indicate a process that cycles carbon from living or nonliving organisms? Describe the process or processes you selected.

Arrows B, D, and E indicate processes that cycle carbon from living or nonliving organisms. Arrow B represents photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken up by plants, arrow D represents the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonates which can be deposited in the ocean and form rocks over millions of years, and arrow E represents the conversion of dead organisms into fossil fuels over a long period of time.

Which arrow or arrows represent reactions that demonstrate a conservation of mass and energy? Explain your answer.

All arrows in the diagram demonstrate the conservation of mass and energy. The carbon cycle is a closed system, meaning that the total mass of carbon in the cycle remains constant over time. Energy is also conserved as it is converted from one form to another throughout the cycle.
