SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY
Scientific evidence indicates that the CO2 added to the air by the burning of wood and fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise in global temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to be responsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis, yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2 by living trees is though1 to make little or no net con1ribution to reduction of global warming. Explain why might this be the case (Hint: What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2?)

- Part B Photosynthesis plays an important role in maintaining life in most ecosystems on Earth because it has an impact on how organisms obtain their energy. In your science journal, write a claim that supports the idea that photosynthesis helps sustain life on Earth, and support that claim with at least one piece of evidence. Use the rubric below to assist you with your response. Criteria Scale Makes Claim about Photosynthesis and Supports Claim with Evidence 2 This response includes both a claim about photosynthesis and its importance, and supports the claim with one piece of factual evidence. 1 This response either lacks both a claim and a piece of evidence, or contains a faulty claim or irrelevant/faulty evidence. 0 This response lacks the required components for partial credit.arrow_forwardWhy are the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration dependent upon temperature?arrow_forwardExplain why this carbon cycle diagram does not have a b arrow that shows carbon atoms going from CO 2 molecules in the air directly to the giraffe.
