Question

The graphic shows a diagram of a carbon cycle that a student drew.



Which mistake did the student make in the diagram?

a
Factory and vehicle emissions do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
b
Animals do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during respiration.
c
Carbon dioxide is not removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
d
Plants do not remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during respiration.

Answer 1

The correct mistake the student made in the diagram is:

**c** Carbon dioxide is not removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

In reality, photosynthesis is the process by which plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce glucose and oxygen. Therefore, stating that carbon dioxide is not removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis is incorrect.
