As CO2 concentration increases in this graph, how is average global temperature affected?

As CO2 concentration increases, average global temperature increases.

As CO2 concentration increases, average global temperature decreases.

As CO2 concentration increases, global temperature stays the same.

CO2 concentration and average global temperature have no relationship.

Based on this graph, you can infer that

CO2 absorbs heat which makes global temperature rise as CO2 concentration increases.

CO2 levels do not affect the global temperature because the graph shows no correlation between the two.

Global temperature is going to increase so much that the ice caps and glaciers will melt in a few years.

Global temperature is increasing which means CO2 concentration will decrease in the next few years.

Which of the following explains the long term portion of the phosphorus cycle?

Phosphorus is stored in rocks, and it is slowly recycled back into the ecosystem through weathering and erosion.

Phosphorus is constantly cycled through the food chain starting at the producer level and working its way to the apex predator.

Phosphorus does not have a long term portion.

Phosphorus cannot be recycled and reused because it is a nonrenewable resource.
