For moving carbon from plant to atmosphere, which of the following things can happen.
1. Plants break down the sugar to get the energy they need to grow.
2. Animals eat the plants or planktons and break down the plant sugar to obtain energy.
3. Plants and planktons die and decay at the end of the growing season.
This is the fast carbon cycle which is largely the movement of carbon through life forms on Earth or the biosphere.
1, 2 and 3 can happen
All 3 of them can happen for moving carbon from plants and then to the atmosphere.
1. Plants breakdown the sugar to get the energy they need to grow.
2. Animals eat the plants or planktons, and break down the plant sugar to obtain energy.
3. Plants and planktons die and decay at the end of the growing season.
