2.

Why is Photosynthesis useful in the Carbon Cycle?

a)

It produces carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere

It produces glucose to the biosphere

c)

It gains Carbon Dioxide and changes it to Oxygen

d)

None of the Above

3.

State the chemical equation for Photosynthesis

4.

How does CO2 enter the plant that is needed for Photosynthesis

a)

It enters it by Respiration

b)

It enters it from the roots through the process of Xylem

c)

It enters it from the leaf into the stomato

d)

It does not enter it as it is not needed in Photosynthesis

5.

What does Respiration do?

a)

It takes in CO2 and H20 from the atmosphere to produce Glucose

b)

It produces CO2 and H2O from Glucose only

7.

How does CO2 enters the ocean from the soil? (Lithosphere to Hydrosphere)

a)

By Fossilization

b)

By Erosion

What does Fossil Fuel contain?

a)

Oil, Water and Fire

b)

Fire, Grass and Soil

It gets back to the Lithosphere

d)

It stays the same

11.

Does Carbon leave the Biosphere naturally?

a)

Yes by Erosion

b)

No because it gets photosynthesized

c)

No, as it is a cycle
