Using the diagram above, match the description to the corresponding location in the carbon cycle model. provide the letter only.

carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food.
carbon trapped in fossil fuels is converted to carbon dioxide.
organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels.
carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates.
sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide.

Hi!

The correct matches would be:

1. Location B

Plants (tree in the diagram) utilize carbon dioxide to make sugars. They do this through the process of photosynthesis which yields the carbohydrate glucose which is subsequently used in various biochemical pathways of the plant, and by other animals.

2. Location G

Here we see a factory which gives off gaseous emissions. The factory is using fossil fuels for its processes (which we can see from the arrow to the left of E). Burning of fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil yields carbon dioxide which is subsequently returned to the atmosphere.

3. Location E

Fossil fuels are formed through processes that follow the decomposition of dead matter (plants and animals). These processes take place under high pressure, and generally involve anaerobic decomposition of the dead matter. These yield fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline (to name a few).

4. Location H

In this location we see that carbon dioxide is entering a water body. Here carbon dioxide dissolves to yield a solution of carbon dioxide and water that identifies as carbonic acid which comprises of two salts, carbonates and bicarbonates.

5. Location F

Sugars, such as glucose, are used by living organisms in cellular respiration -which is a biochemical processes that results in the production of carbon dioxide and water from glucose. These process is seen in plants, animals and various other living entities.

the correct answer is c   with the systems
