Which of the following correctly describes the importance of the carbon cycle? to recycle oxygen-based compounds to replenish nitrogen in the atmosphere to decompose dead plant matter to replenish gases required by plants

 To decompose dead plant matter

The series of processes by which carbon is interconverted into different forms in the physical and living environment. This includes the utilization of carbon dioxide by the plants in photosynthesis, it's return to the atmosphere through respiration by the organisms and by the burning of the fossil fuels.

The dead and decaying plant matter is a rich source of organic matter which consists of carbon as a chief ingredient. The decomposition process involves the break down of the dead and decaying matter into simper particles and nutrients easily absorbed by the plants and carbon dioxide gas is liberated to the atmosphere. This released out carbon dioxide becomes the part of the carbon cycle and it is absorbed by the plants from the atmosphere to conduct photosynthesis.

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
