Questions and Answers

1.

In some parts of the world, rainforests are being cut down to make land available for new homes. How does the loss of these trees impact the carbon cycle?
- A.
  
  The trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of oxygen within the atmosphere.
- B.
  
  The trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
- C.
  
  The trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will cause the amount of carbon within the atmosphere to be removed.
- D.
  
  The trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will decrease the amount of fossil fuels produced.
2.
