Study Notes
Carbon Cycle Processes
- Combustion is the process that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- The interaction that involves the transfer of carbon from the atmosphere to the biosphere is photosynthesis.
- The biosphere is primarily involved in the process of respiration, where carbon is released from organic matter back into the atmosphere.
- Photosynthesis is the process that involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- The interaction that involves the transfer of carbon from the biosphere to the geosphere is decomposition, where organic matter is broken down and stored in rocks and sediments.
- The lithosphere is primarily involved in the process of combustion, where fossil fuels are burned, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
