Question

In the carbon cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted into organic material by which process? a) transpiration b) cellular respiration c) decomposition d) photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants transform inorganic matter from their external environment into organic matter that they will use for their growth and development. It basically consists of the production of sugars from C02 (carbon dioxide) in the air, minerals and water with the help of sunlight. In this reaction, oxygen molecules are released and carbohydrates are fixed in the plant. Plants absorb sunlight through a pigment called chlorophyll. Not only can plants fix CO2, so do certain bacteria and green algae. Photosynthesis is conditioned by internal plant factors and external or environmental factors.
