The two processes of the carbon cycle are photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis carbon from carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrates. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to form ATP and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

∙ 13y agoThe carbon cycle is primarily driven by the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose (sugar) and oxygen. In what can only generally be described as the reverse process, many organisms will then convert glucose and molecular oxygen to the by products of water and carbon dioxide to produce energy for cellular reactions.

The cars we drive primarily contribute to the production of which greenhouse gas?
carbon dioxide
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?
they are not the same b/c the steps of the rock cycle that happen above the eartths surface require other things(evaporation etc.) than below the earths surface(heat, pressure, etc)
What is the value of 1 carbon credit?
It is equivalent to 1 ton of Carbon. The dollar value of the credit is supposed to be somewhere around $10/t initially but market forced will drive the value to an acceptable level.
What are the byproducts of burning fossil fuel?
The products of complete combustion of hydrocarbons and oxy-hydrocarbons are carbon dioxide and water. Many fossil fuels contain the elements sulfur and nitrogen, which are converted to their oxides by complete combustion; this is one of the primary causes of air pollution. If the combustion is incomplete, many other compounds can be formed; carbon monoxide is the most common of these.
What is the organ that release carbon dioxide into the air?
Some actions that release CO2:Burning fuels such as wood, oil, or natural gasBreathing by people, animals, and plants (which respire carbon dioxide at night)Opening a soft drink bottle - all the bubbles are carbon dioxide.Chemical reactions, like baking soda and vinegar, or acid with carbonate rocksYeast doing its thing, making bread light and fluffy, and beer foamy
What are the 4 processes that drive the carbon through its cycle?
The carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle.That suggests three major types of processes: biological, geological, and chemical.But it's probably more accurate and simpler to think of two major processes: biochemical and geochemical which can be shortened into just "BIOLOGICAL" and "GEOLOGICAL"Biological means "involving life". It comes first in the term "biogeochemical", but the carbon cycle preceded the evolution of the earliest forms of life on our planet.Important biological processes include photosynthesis, respiration, and decay. Photosynthesis is the way that living things absorb CO2. Respiration and decay are some of the ways that living things can release carbon back into their surrounding environments.Geological (involving rocks) processes came first. Many forms of rock will react with carbon dioxide when exposed to air and water. This is often referred to as a form of "weathering" of rock surfaces, but it is just as easily imagined as rock being dissolved by a mild (carbonic) acid. It is also part of a more general geological process called erosion which eventually washes the rock as sediment into the seas where it can be compacted and cemented into sedimentary rock. Tectonic forces can push this rock under continental plates where it can be metamorphosed and or melted. Eventually this rock (and its carbon) can be expelled back into the atmosphere via a volcanic eruption.There are some other biochemical and geochemicalprocesses involved in the carbon cycle. Combustion (burning) of organic material releases carbon into the surrounding air and soil. Marine animals also use carbon to help form their shells. These shells can later join the carbon/rock cycle as limestone or marble (after more geochemical changes involved in metamorphosis).
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
