How does photosynthesis affect the carbon cycle?

• CO2 is pulled from the atmosphere into the biosphere

• CO2 is released from the biosphere into the atmosphere

• CO2 is pulled from the geosphere into the hydrosphere

In plants, how does the amount of carbon moved compare in their two major processes?

• They pull in more than they release

• They pull in the same amount as they release

• They release more than they pull in

Why can water also help move carbon?

• Carbon pulls water with it as it moves, like in fossil fuels

• Water and carbon cycles are distinctly separate

• Things dissolve in water and move with it, like in precipitation

How does the carbon cycle support the idea of conservation of matter?

• Processes like burning fossil fuels create carbon, so the total increases over time

• Processes like photosynthesis move carbon around, so the total doesn't change.

• Processes like volcanoes destroy carbon, so the total amount decreases over time.
