transpiration.

Answer 1

Carbon cycles through the biosphere in all of the following processes EXCEPT transpiration.

Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, transferred to the leaves, and then evaporated into the atmosphere. While it is part of the water cycle, it does not directly involve the cycling of carbon. The other listed processes—photosynthesis, burning of fossil fuels, and decomposition of plants and animals—are all significant components of the carbon cycle.
