How do fossil fuels play a role in the carbon cycle?(1 point) Fossil fuels require a lot of carbon to burn, which takes carbon out of the atmosphere. Fossil fuels require a lot of carbon to burn, which releases carbon into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels are rich in carbon, and burning them releases carbon into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels are rich in carbon, and burning them returns carbon to the soil.

Fossil fuels are rich in carbon, and burning them releases carbon into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 0.03% by volume. This value is kept fairly constant by a natural process known as the CARBON CYCLE. This involves carbon dioxide being continually removed from the atmosphere by plants in photosynthesis, rain water as weak acids while in order to maintain this balance, carbon dioxide is at the same time returned to the atmosphere by:

--> burning of carbon containing substances (fossil fuel)

--> respiration of plants and animals and

--> Decomposition of organic substances.

Therefore the role of fossil fuels which are rich in carbon content releases carbon into the atmosphere when burnt.

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
