Animals such as clams and oysters extract carbon from the water to build their shells. Specifically, they use dissolved calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to form their shells.
Why does Earth have a lower amount of carbon in the atmosphere than planets such as Venus and Mars?(1 point)
Responses
Most of Earth’s carbon can be found in the proteins and lipids of organisms

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis
Carbon is released into the air during plant decomposition

The reason Earth has a lower amount of carbon in the atmosphere than planets such as Venus and Mars is primarily because plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. This process significantly reduces the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as it is utilized by plants to produce energy.
witch is it 1 2 3 or 4
The correct answer is 2: Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis.
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
1.The resident time would be zero because carbon is released as soon as it is absorbed
2.The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration
3. The resident time will decrease because plants will be taking in carbon dioxide to use for photosynthesis
4. The resident time will increase because there will be a buildup of carbon in the atmosphere
Responses
1.The resident time would be zero because carbon is released as soon as it is absorbed
2.The resident time will depend on where the organism lives because it might be influenced by cellular respiration
