    The document summarizes key parts of the carbon cycle. It shows that in process A, green plants perform photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In process B, both plants and animals undergo respiration to release carbon dioxide. In process C, fossil fuels are burned, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Process D represents animals obtaining carbon through nutrition. It also predicts that using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels for electricity generation would reduce rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere since renewable sources do not produce carbon dioxide through combustion.

    (a) The boxes A, B, C and D show four important processes in the carbon cycle.

    Name each of these processes.

    A Photosynthesis
    Respiration
    B

    C Combustion/ burning

    D Nutrition / feeding / eating

    (b) Electricity is often generated using fossil fuels.

    Many countries generate their electricity using renewable energy resources such as wind
    turbines and solar panels.

    Predict the effect of using renewable energy resources, rather than fossil fuels, on the carbon
    cycle.

    Reduce the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere / less of an increase of CO2 in the
    atmosphere

    Explain the reason for your prediction.


    (Burning) fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide
    (But) renewable energy does not produce carbon dioxide
