William is developing the model shown below to illustrate the process of photosynthesis. He plans to use the model to explain how photosynthesis transforms both energy and matter.

The diagram shows a chloroplast. In the light-dependent reactions, light strikes the thylakoids, water enters, and oxygen is released. In the light-independent reactions, carbon dioxide enters a cycle and sugars leave the cycle.

Earth systems include the biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere. Use the model to explain how photosynthesis acts to transfer carbon between two Earth systems.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Photosynthesis takes carbon from the atmosphere and brings it to the geosphere and into plants.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process that involves converting light energy to chemical energy stored in the form of sugars with the help of carbon dioxide and water as reactants.

The carbon is pulled from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide for the process to the geosphere and then used by the plants (biosphere). In plants, it is trapped by the chlorophyll present in chloroplasts and water is entered in the light-dependent reaction and carbon dioxide is used in the light-independent reaction.
