As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
evaporation |
|
photosynthesis |
|
sedimentation |
|
decomposition |
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.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
dense, empty |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
warmer, cooler |

empty, dense |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
