1. The option that would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is d- an increase in auto and factory emissions. This is because auto and factory emissions release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to its increase.
2. The correct option for the activity that occurs during the process of photosynthesis is c- organic molecules are converted into organic food molecules. During photosynthesis, plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (organic food molecules) and oxygen.
To answer your first question: which of these would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The correct answer is option D - an increase in auto and factory emissions.
To understand why this is the correct answer, we need to understand how carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas primarily released through the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline in vehicles and the combustion of coal, oil, and gas in power plants and industrial factories. These emissions contain carbon dioxide, which is then released into the atmosphere, contributing to an increase in its concentration.
Decrease in animal respiration (option A) would actually decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere because animals release carbon dioxide during respiration.
Similarly, decrease in plant respiration (option B) would also lead to a decrease in carbon dioxide release because plants release carbon dioxide during respiration.
Increase in photosynthesis (option C) would result in a decrease in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen and glucose.
To answer your second question: which activity occurs during the process of photosynthesis?
The correct answer is option C - organic molecules are converted into organic food molecules (specifically glucose).
During photosynthesis, plants capture light energy from the sun and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. The process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, a pigment that gives plants their green color. This energy is then used to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose through a series of chemical reactions. The glucose produced serves as an energy source for the plant, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
