Worksheet
Name_________________________________________
What element is found in all living things on Earth?
(carbon)
What is the food-producing process in plants?
(photosynthesis)
Write the chemical equation for this process.
(6 CO2 + 6 H2O→C6H12O6 + 6 O2)
Why could you say that plants are a sink for carbon?
(Plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere and use it to grow)

Miss Rattanawadee Morakul
What would happen if all the plants on earth died?
(All the oxygen would be used up and all air breathing organisms would die)
Where does the carbon in fossil fuels come from?
(Fossilized carbon from ancient plants and animals)
How have humans caused an imbalance in the carbon cycle?
(Humans have caused an imbalance in the carbon cycle by removing carbon stored in the geosphere and
burning it to make energy)
Why is the burning of fossil fuels a concern for scientists?
(Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is creating a blanket effect which prevents solar radiation from
leaving the atmosphere and has resulted in increased oceanic and atmospheric temperatures)
