Explain why electrons held in a bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom have a lower energy content (potential energy) than electrons held in a bond between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom and consider the relative electronegativity of these three elements. Include the term “electronegativity” explaining how relative electronegativity defines the type of bond (polar versus non-polar) between atoms, and how that impacts the potential energy of a bond

Why is carbon such a versatile and abundant atom in living systems? Select all correct answers (more than one may apply)

A. There is a lot of carbon available in the earth's crust

B.Carbon has a full valence electron shell and hence is chemically stable

C. Carbon can form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms

D. Carbon can make many kinds of molecules - it can form long chains with other carbon atoms as well as atoms of other elements

E. Carbon can form quadruple covalent bonds with itself

Why are fungi so important to the carbon cycle? See Section 29.1. View Available Hint(s) Why are fungi so important to the carbon cycle? See Section 29.1. Fungi produce O2 and make it available to nearby plants for use in the carbon cycle. Fungi release water from the soil and break it up into its constituent elements, thus freeing up hydrogen atoms for the carbon cycle. Fungi accelerate the carbon cycle by breaking down wood and thus freeing up carbon atoms. Fungi fix carbon and produce O2 just like plants do during photosynthesis.
