Which of the following statements are true about the carbon cycle? Select all that are true. Photosynthesis is a major flux in this cycle. Transpiration is a major flux in this cycle. This cycle's largest reservoir is ocean water. This cycle is significantly affected by the extraction of fossil fuels. Nitrification is a major flux in this cycle. The weathering of rock is a major flux in this cycle. This cycle is affected by the release of detergents in treated wastewater. This cycle's largest reservoir is the atmosphere.

Which of the following is false regarding the carbon cycle? Detritus represents an essential component of the carbon cycle. Decomposers also contribute to the recycling of carbon back into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration contributes to the atmospheric carbon dioxide level. Photosynthesis is taking place at a rate that is sufficient to counter the effects of fossil fuel burning.
