Which shows an explanation of molecules through different spheres (select all that apply)

• Oxygen in the atmosphere is breathed in by animals (biosphere) and they produce Carbon Dioxide. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and produce Oxygen that goes back into the atmosphere.

• Droplets form in the clouds and fall as precipitation. These droplets will eventually make it to aquifers.

• The more CO2 can cause an greenhouse effect.

• Nitrogen in the atmosphere is carried by water in precipitation (hydrosphere) down into the ground (lithosphere). Plants take in Nitrogen and animals eat those plants (biosphere). When the animals die, their bodies decay and the nitrogen is released into the ground and plants take it back in.
