Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process do the oxygen and carbon cycle directly rely on to cycle?
A
photosynthesis
B
precipitation
C
nitrogen fixation
D
transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –In photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide is used from the atmosphere and oxygen is released from the water by the process known as photolysis of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between the oxygen cycle and the carbon is that they are connected through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to make food. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing it for the carbon cycle as glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -When they’re exposed to light, green plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture living matter and release oxygen into the air. This process is called photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced through the respiration of animals and plants, which consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main carbon cycling processes involving living organisms are photosynthesis and respiration. These processes are actually reciprocal to one another with regard to the cycling of carbon: photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and respiration returns it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.
