Sure! Here’s how you can match the carbon sources to the appropriate spheres in the carbon cycle:

  1. Atmosphere:

    • (carbon dioxide gas)
  2. Hydrosphere:

    • (carbonic acid)
  3. Biosphere:

    • (carbohydrates)
    • (dead organic matter, humus)
    • (organisms)
  4. Geosphere:

    • (calcium carbonate)
    • (limestone and coral)
