As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

	evaporation
	photosynthesis
	sedimentation
	decomposition

Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

	aorta
	right atrium
	left ventricle

Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
