Question
Chapter 26, Problem 1VI
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Label the phases in the carbon cycle.
Introduction:
The basic element of every organic chemical is carbon. The inorganic carbon is transformed into an organic compound by autotrophs. Autotrophs are an organism that able to synthesize their own food from light or inorganic chemicals.

The student has cellular respiration and decomposition as labeled processes, with both of them showing a release of carbon dioxide into t atmosphere. According to the teacher's expectations for the project, the student must model an equal number of processes that sequester carbon out of the atmosphere as well. Which components should the student add to refi the model to include carbon dioxide sequestration? Select ALL that apply.
