2.It will take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
3.Its feces will contain carbon that will enter the geosphere.
4.It will convert carbon to a form that will be used by plants for energy.
5.It will decompose the body of plants to release carbon dioxide.

Answer 1

Among the given options, the two ways dog will contribute to the Carbon cycle are :

1. It will release carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through respiration.

3. Its feces will contain carbon that will enter the Geosphere.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1.It will release carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through respiration.

3.Its feces will contain carbon that will enter the geosphere.

Explanation:

The dog is a consumer and cannot perform photosynthesis. They take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This way, the carbon present in his food products is transferred to the atmosphere as a byproduct of the cellular respiration process. The feces of the dog contain the complex wastes of food, which can be decomposed by the bacteria and other decomposers and the carbon present in it enters the geosphere.

The dog cannot convert the carbon in a form of energy used by plants and dog also cannot decompose.
