Astudent conducted an experiment that used two rose plants to determine if a liquid formula for fertilizer was better than a dry formula. he tested each fertilizer on a single plant for one month, and he concluded that the liquid formula was better. when he described his conclusion to his teacher, she told him he needed to conduct additional trials. the teacher most likely asked for additional trials because
a)she did not believe the new formula plants grow better than the old formula.
b) it was necessary to see data from more plants before the conclusion could be accepted.
c) it was necessary to have tested the fertilizer on different kinds of plants.
d)she thought he should test additional fertilizer formulas on the same two plants.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
