Storage of Carbon Quick Check 5 of 55 of 5 Items 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 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 resident time would be zero because carbon is released as soon as it is absorbed 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 Skip to navigation page 12 of 12

In the context of the carbon cycle and the balance of input and output of carbon, the most appropriate response regarding the resident times of carbon in organisms would be:
**The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration.**
This option reflects the idea that different environments and organisms utilize and release carbon at varying rates, influenced by factors such as metabolism, photosynthesis, and respiration.
