- A student is creating a model of the carbon cycle on a poster for a project at school. The student has cellular respiration and decomposition as labeled processes, with both of them showing a release of carbon dioxide into t atmosphere. According to the teacher's expectations for the project, the student must model an equal number of processes that sequester carbon out of the atmosphere as well. Which components should the student add to refi the model to include carbon dioxide sequestration? Select ALL that apply. A) B) 9) D) E) the process of photosynthesis occurring in forest plants the process of carbon dioxide dissolution into the ocean water The process of wildfires burning as trees and plants undergo combustion the process of anaerobic digestion of organic materials in rice fields or cow stomachs the process of fossil fuel combustion as coal, oil, and natural gas is used for fuel in energy conversions The long-ago deposited plant and animal remains, now buried, have been…arrow_forward1.

This means that the system does not observe the output of the processes that it is controlling. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness. Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired output. 3) The image shown above is the Carbon cycle. What kind of system is the Carbon cycle? A) open-loop system B) closed-loop system C) unregulated system D) unchecked feedback system not gradedarrow_forward
