Scientists who study biogeochemical cycles often use the term fixation to describe converting an element from gaseous form in the atmosphere to solid form in the biosphere. For example, in the nitrogen cycle, bacteria are said to fix nitrogen by converting N2 gas into nitrates and nitrites in the soil that are later used to make organic macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. There are many processes involved in cycling carbon, but only one is able to fix carbon from its gaseous form in the atmosphere to solid form in the biosphere. Which process performs carbon fixation

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Carbon fixation refers to the process by which elemental carbon in gaseous form in the atmosphere is converted to a solid form in living organisms. It is part of the larger process known as the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is a very important cycle which involves the different steps by which carbon is exchanged between living organisms and their environment. The carbon cyclemis divided into the biological carbon cycle and the biogeochenpmical carbon cycle. The biological carbon cycle is the rapid exchange of carbon among living things while the biogeochemical cycle refers to the much slower cycle by which carbon is stored and released from carbon reservoirs in the environment.

In nature, carbon fixation occurs in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plant ( autotrophs) in the presence of sunlight as an energy source uses carbon present in air as carbon dioxide together with water vapour to produce organic biomolecules known as simple sugars which are also stored as starch. The products of photosynthesis are then used by heterotrophs, to return carbon in the form of carbon dioxide back to atmosphere.

Aldo Leopold, an ecologist, wrote about his home state of Wisconsin in The Sand County Almanac. In one moving section, he described a triangular cemetery, founded in the nineteenth century, that, because of its unusual shape, contained a tiny patch of prairie, unmowed and undisturbed. Every year, sometime in July, Leopold would watch a single silphium plant bloom there, the only one he found in that part of the state. He used this example to discuss the many plants native to the prairie that have been replaced by a few commercial plants grown by farmers. The disappearance of native plants is an issue of:
