Why is this argument reasonable?

A) generates carbon dioxide and consumes ATP and oxygen B) generates ATP and sugars and consumes oxygen and carbon dioxide C) generates oxygen and consumes ATP, carbon dioxide, and sugars D) consumes carbon dioxide and generates ATP, sugars, and oxygenarrow_forwardBackground: One of the main drivers of climate change is the emissions of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. This has altered the global carbon cycle. using the link below to watch https://youtu.be/xk11DVaAjEA PROMPT: 1) What role does photosynthesis paly in the global carbon cycle? 2) What are fossil fuels and how are they altering the global carbon cycle? 3.

As aquatic photosynthesis is light dependent, the dissolved oxygen produced will peak during daylight hours and decline at night. 2. The potability or “drinkability” of tap water varies from place to place. The distillation process ensures that contaminants are left in the boiling vessel, which results in a cleaner and more pure water in the collection vessel. 3. The stable form of oxygen in the Winkler Titration Method in determining the dissolved oxygen in water was magnesium dioxide. The free iodine in the Winkler Titration Method turned the solution into a red color. 4. Tap water is more pure than distilled water. The purity and cleanliness of distilled water remains constant no matter where you get it…arrow_forwardDoes a negative change in carbon dioxide per minute indicate photosynthesis or cellular respiration?arrow_forward
