Group of answer choices

use water and release oxygen

use sugar and release carbon

use carbon and release oxygen

use carbon and release nitrogen

Since the 1800s, fossil fuels have been used to meet the energy needs of many human activities.

Select TWO statements that describe what the scientists will observe in the ecosystem after fossil fuels have been extracted and burned.

Group of answer choices

There is more available space for carbon to become fossil fuels.

There is less carbon in storage.

There will be less carbon in the water.

There is more carbon in the atmosphere.

There will be more carbon respired by organisms.

There will be less carbon released through decomposition.

B What role do animals have in the carbon cycle?

Group of answer choices

use water and release oxygen

use sugar and release carbon

use carbon and release oxygen

use carbon and release nitrogen

D, E Select TWO statements that describe what the scientists will observe in the ecosystem after fossil fuels have been extracted and burned.

Group of answer choices

There is more available space for carbon to become fossil fuels.

There is less carbon in storage.

There will be less carbon in the water.

There is more carbon in the atmosphere.

There will be more carbon respired by organisms.

There will be less carbon released through decomposition.

Explanation:

Animals obtain energy through sugar from the food they eat and release carbon into the air through respiration. Therefore, they partake in the carbon cycle by using sugar and releasing energy.

As far as the second question, when fossil fuels are burned, the carbon contained within them is released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. So, there will obviously be a greater amount in the atmosphere.

I would like to apologise in advance if either of my option choices were incorrect.
