Question
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 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 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 would be zero because carbon is released as soon as it is absorbed

The correct response to generalize about the resident times of carbon in organisms when the input and output of carbon is balanced in the carbon cycle is:
**The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration.**
This is because the amount of carbon an organism retains can vary based on its environment and metabolic processes, including how efficiently it conducts cellular respiration and other carbon-utilizing processes.
