Reservoir

• where carbon is stored in living and non-living things. Includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere.

• Uses the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars

• Consists of all life on Earth and all parts of the Earth in which life exists, including land, water, and the atmosphere.

• A chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products.

Which of the following best describes the role of apes in the carbon cycle?

• Apes are primary producers that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.

• Apes are decomposers that break down organic matter.

• Apes are consumers that release carbon dioxide through respiration.

• Apes are carbon sinks that store carbon in their bodies.

How do apes contribute to the carbon cycle through their diet?

• By consuming plants, they help in carbon fixation.

• By eating other animals, they increase carbon storage.

• By digesting food, they release methane, a carbon compound.

• By exhaling, they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

In what way do apes indirectly affect the carbon cycle in their habitats?

• By dispersing seeds, they promote plant growth, which absorbs carbon dioxide.

• By building nests, they increase carbon storage in trees.

• By hunting, they reduce the number of carbon sources.

• By migrating, they transport carbon across ecosystems.
