Question

place these steps in the correct order to explain how carbon moves between the atmosphere and the biosphere in the carbon cycle. start with photosynthesis. first 1 plants use water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make glucose and oxygen 2 carbon dioxide is released by organisms and moves into the atmosphere. 3 organisms carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water. 4 some animals eat plants and store chemical energy from plants in their bodies.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs first where plants use water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen. Then animals eat plants (step 4). After that, organisms carry out cellular respiration (step 3) which converts glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water. Finally, carbon dioxide is released by organisms and moves into the atmosphere (step 2).

Answer:

1. Plants use water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make glucose and oxygen.
2. Some animals eat plants and store chemical energy from plants in their bodies.
3. Organisms carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water.
4. Carbon dioxide is released by organisms and moves into the atmosphere.
