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

See explanation for details

Step-by-step explanation:

6) C is false. What is going on there is actually a transformation of mechanical energy to the chemical energy stored in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of the fossil fuel produces mechanical energy which is stored in the chemical bonds of CO2 hence the statement is false

7) A is true. Solar energy refers to energy from the sun, this energy is trapped from Tue sun and stored in chemical bonds in glucose, and starch molecules during photosynthesis.

8) C represents the release of carbon dioxide by the burning of fossil fuels.

9) B,C,D, E

B refers to photosynthesis in which plants take in atmospheric carbon dioxide

C refers to the burning of fossil rules which releases atmospheric carbon dioxide

D refers to the dissolution of atmospheric carbon dioxide in water bodies to form carbonates in water.

E refers refers the return of organic carbon to the soil by dead organisms

10) A and C

A shows the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy

C shows the conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy
