The hydrosphere is comprised of land masses, such as mountains and hills gases, such as hydrogen and nitrogen microscopic particles found in living organisms bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes

The correct answer for the blank is- bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes .

The Earth comprises of four different spheres that are-

Geosphere ( that includes land that is having rocks and minerals), hydrosphere ( includes water bodies like oceans and lakes), biosphere ( including life forms), and atmosphere ( includes all the air on the earth)

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
