Title: Bio multimple choice question-demanding
Post by: mr_scholes on June 04, 2009, 04:30:49 pm
36  The diagram represents part of the carbon cycle.
 

carbon dioxide in air <--carbon compounds in animals(X)<-----carbon compouds in green plants(y)



 
What processes are represented by X and Y?
             X                       Y
A)  combustion            photosynthesis
B)  photosynthesis        respiration
C)  respiration              excretion
D)  excretion                 nutrition

Its A!..
Quite a trick question but all the other answers seem to be wrong!

So i think its A cuz plants get CO2 by photosynthesis and animals eat plants and use the food they ate and when they die in a 10000000 years they get combusted to give out CO2.. ::)

Carbon compounds in green plants are transfered to animals during nutrition ( when the animals eat the plants they take in the carbon compounds such as carbohydarates)
Carbon compounds in animals are transfered to air by excretion of Carbondioxide by the lungs (exhalation)

umm, in real amylas breaks down starch to maltose..which is a disacharride..
so the diagram should be    --o--o--    --o--o--
i solved this question earlier
