Question

Using the diagram above, answer the following questions: 6. True or False. The arrow labeled C represents a transfer of chemical energy to mechanical energy. Explain why this is true or false. 7. True or False. The arrow labeled A represents a transfer of solar energy to chemical energy. Explain why this is true or false. 8. Which arrow or arrows represent a release of carbon dioxide? What process is occurring at the arrow(s) you selected? 9. Which arrow or arrows indicate a process that cycles carbon from living or nonliving organisms? Describe the process or processes you selected. 10. Which arrow or arrows represent reactions that demonstrate a conservation of mass and energy? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

1. FALSE. The factory uses mechanical energy and when carbon is released into the atmosphere it is the process of chemical energy
2. arrow E represents cycling of carbon from living organisms to non-living organisms. this is because it is showing conversion of a carbon from the dead tree to fossil fuel.
3. Its true because the arrow letter A uses the of solar power from the sun then makes a chemical reaction to make food for the plant so basically photosynthesis.
4. The arrow C represents the emission of carbondioxide in the atmosphere. As you can see that the arrow is from the smoke that is emitted from the factories and industries and to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.
5. All the arrows in a combined form are used to show the biogeochemical cycle or the carbon cycle. In this cycle, carbon is cycled between the biotic and abiotic component of the biome. In any biogeochemical cycle, mas and energy are always conserved.
