    Carbon Cycle

    The carbon cycle is important for all living things and helps maintain balance. It has four main steps: 1) carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through respiration and combustion, 2) plants absorb carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates, 3) carbon compounds are passed through the food chain as animals eat plants, and 4) decomposers release carbon back into the atmosphere when organisms die. The carbon cycle interacts with other cycles and ecosystems by exchanging carbon between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere as organisms respire, photosynthesize, and decompose over time.

    Carbon Cycle

    By Nasha, Bell, Parn, Jaa and Ampere

    Why carbon cycle is important ?


    Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis
    The oxygen released by plants is used by animals in respiration
    Carbon cycle allows all organisms to live
    Keeps the natural balance of things to remain
    Helps animals in having a constant homeostasis
    All living things are made up of carbon
    Carbon is a part of the ocean, air, and rocks
    Helps to traps heat
    Is the major effects of global warming

    The steps for the carbon cycle.


    There is 4 steps for carbon cycle
    steps for the carbon c.

    4.The dead organisms are


    eaten by decomposers. The
    carbon that was in their bodies
    returned to the atmosphere as
    carbon dioxide.

    1. Carbon enters the


    atmosphere as carbon
    dioxide from respiration
    and combustion.
    3.Plants pass the carbon
    compounds along the
    food chain to animal.The
    animals and plants then
    eventually die

    2.CO2 is absorbed by
    producers to make
    carbohydrates in
    photosynthesis . These
    producers then put off O2

    How does carbon cycle interact with other


    cycles or with the ecosystem?
    It interact with biosphere when terrestrial producers and aquatic producers use
    photosynthesis to convert
    into complex carbohydrates.
    It interact with atmosphere and hydrosphere, because the organisms carry out
    respiration which release
    back into the air and water.
    When the organism which the body containing of carbon die, there will be the
    decomposition process which also release carbon into the nature.
    Decomposer release the carbon stored in the bodies of dead organisms on
    land back into the air.

    How does carbon cycle interact with other


    cycles or with the ecosystem?
    It also interact with the geosphere ecosystem, because when the animals died,
    it decomposed to the soil. As time goes by, their will be more layers of soil
    adding on top of each other. The carbon that is still until the soil and the rock
    could tell the age of the rock by using the radioactive method.
