Answer 3

- Define exchange pool and reservoir, and identify an example of each in the water cycle.

"Part of a cycle that holds an element or water for a short period of time is called an exchange pool. For example, the atmosphere is an exchange pool for water. It usually holds water (in the form of water vapor) for just a few days.

Part of a cycle that holds an element or water for a long period of time is called a reservoir. The ocean is a reservoir for water. The deep ocean may hold water for thousands of years."

- State three ways that carbon dioxide enters Earth’s atmosphere.

When you exhale, carbon dioxide is entering the earth's atmosphere and plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose.

"Carbon moves into the atmosphere from decomposition of organic matter, respiration by living organisms, combustion, volcanic activity, burning fossil fuels, degassing of waterbodies, etc. Carbon moves out of the atmosphere via photosynthesis, rock weathering, dissolution in water, etc. All plants, including forests and many micro-organisms, use photosynthesis which takes CO2 out of the air to build sugars that can be used by the cell to build cellulose or other complex carbon molecules that comprise plant biomass."

- List all the ways that a single tree may be involved in the carbon cycle.

Well, a tree becomes a tree once it's been living for a while and imagine how many carbon this tree have inhaled. This tree still has the energy and functions to do so due to the amount of years this tree have been living and the amount of rain have been brought on it. Plant must be grown if there's a presence of water. Water allows the photosynthesis to charge on the plant.
