Answer
Why does Earth have a lower amount of carbon in the atmosphere than planets such as Venus and Mars?(1 point)
Responses

The carbon escapes Earth’s atmosphere faster than it is being absorbed
The carbon escapes Earth’s atmosphere faster than it is being absorbed

Carbon is released into the air during plant decomposition
Carbon is released into the air during plant decomposition

Most of Earth’s carbon can be found in the proteins and lipids of organisms
Most of Earth’s carbon can be found in the proteins and lipids of organisms

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis
Answer
If the input and output of carbon is balanced in the carbon cycle, what can be generalized about the resident times of carbon in organisms?(1 point)
Responses

The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration
The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration

The resident time will increase because there will be a buildup of carbon in the atmosphere
The resident time will increase because there will be a buildup of carbon in the atmosphere

The resident time will decrease because plants will be taking in carbon dioxide to use for photosynthesis
The resident time will decrease because plants will be taking in carbon dioxide to use for photosynthesis

The resident time would be zero because carbon is released as soon as it is absorbed

The reservoir with the largest deposit of carbon is **rocks and sediment**.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Plants use **glucose** for energy.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Animals such as clams and oysters extract **carbon** from the water to build their shells, primarily in the form of calcium carbonate.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is: **Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis**. This process helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere compared to planets like Venus and Mars, where similar processes are not occurring.

The correct response is: **The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration**. The resident time of carbon in organisms can vary based on factors such as their metabolic rates and ecological roles.
