Humans affect the carbon cycle in many ways through the use of fossil fuels, clear cutting of forests, and controlled burns. Which of the following processes can help counteract these human interactions? A.photosynthesis. B.respiration. C.decomposition D.building proteins.

Respuesta :

A) photosynthesis

just took the test

Answer: A. photosynthesis

The use of fossil fuels will emerge gases like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, clear cutting will also promote the abundance of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as plants and trees are the carbon sinks, controlled burns or combustion will also emit toxic carbon compounds into the atmosphere.

Photosynthesis is the process which can help in counteracting these human interactions as the plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere along with the water and sunlight to produce their food in the form of carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
