The carbon cycle plays an important role in regulating carbon levels on Earth. As humans cut down more trees and burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming. The carbon cycle involves carbon moving from the atmosphere to plants through photosynthesis, then to animals that eat plants, and eventually back to the atmosphere through respiration and decomposition. Maintaining the balance of the carbon cycle is critical for sustaining the food chain and regulating carbon levels in oceans, forests, and the atmosphere.

The document summarizes the carbon cycle. It describes how carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through respiration and combustion. Plants then absorb this carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and use it to produce carbohydrates. When animals eat plants or other animals, they pass the carbon compounds along the food chain, and most of this carbon is later exhaled as carbon dioxide during respiration. Dead organisms are eventually broken down by decomposers, which release the carbon back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and fossil fuels.Environmental Science Chapter 2 Section 1

The carbon cycle describes the natural pathways and reservoirs of carbon on Earth. Carbon cycles between the atmosphere, ocean, soil, plants and animals through respiration, photosynthesis, decomposition, and other processes. Humans impact the carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and through deforestation which removes carbon-absorbing trees. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activities is altering Earth's climate. Potential solutions include expanding renewable energy, limiting carbon emissions, reducing deforestation, and promoting clean energy technologies.The Cycle Of Life1

The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun heats water in oceans and lakes, evaporating it into water vapor in the air. Air currents carry the vapor into the atmosphere where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Air currents move clouds around the globe where water precipitates as rain or snow and either falls back into bodies of water or is absorbed into the ground. Snow and ice can accumulate and store frozen water for long periods of time.carbon cycle PERIOD 4

While rainforests contribute little to atmospheric oxygen levels, deforestation releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air by burning forest plants, contributing to global warming. Scientists state that tropical deforestation releases 1.5 billion tons of carbon each year. Forests also help stabilize the biosphere by extracting carbon dioxide and pollutants from the air. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide trapped underground for millions of years too quickly for plants and trees to absorb, increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and causing global warming and unpredictable climate changes. Reducing fossil fuel use can help mitigate extreme weather risks.Cycling of Matter in Ecosystems

Soaps are made through saponification, the process of reacting fats or oils with alkalis. They are cheap and biodegradable but do not work well in hard water which causes insoluble scum. Detergents are made through chemical processes using petroleum products or natural esters reacted with alkalis. They contain surfactants, phosphates, and other additives. Detergents are more effective than soaps for hard water, but many varieties are non-biodegradable and can cause environmental harm. Both products have advantages like low costs but also disadvantages like limited cleaning power or environmental impacts.Nitrogen fertilizer1

- 2. the carbon cycle? The carbon cycle plays an important role to earth. As humans are trying to change the cycle, life on earth will be dangerously affected. Trees and plant life helps to prevent carbon from building in one place. To fulfill the ever growing consumption demands of natural resources, humans are cutting down more trees. The carbon dioxide collected by these trees returns to the atmosphere and oceans. It increases the level of greenhouse gases, increasing the greenhouse effect, trapping heat into a planet and increasing global warming.
- 5. • Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants- Carbon is combined with a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. With the sun’s aid and photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to make plant food using the carbon. • Carbon moves from plants to animals- The carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. These animals are eaten by other animals and the carbon moves to these carnivores through the food chain. • Carbon moves from plants and animals to the ground- The bodies, wood and leaves of plants and animals decay when they die. This brings carbon into the ground which becomes fossil fuels.
- 6. • Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere-When animals exhale, they release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid of carbon dioxide through a process known as respiration. • Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned- Fossil fuels are burned in power factories, power plants, cars and trucks with most of the carbon existing in carbon dioxide gas. The carbon from these fuels enters the atmosphere and most becomes dissolved in seawater. • Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the oceans- The ocean and other water bodies absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
- 7. Explanation of the carbon cycle
- 8. Carbon gets into the atmosphere from the soil, waste products, decomposing animals, burning sediment from the earth and events like a volcanic eruption. Some of this carbon goes into the ocean and some to the atmosphere. Plants found on land and phytoplankton found in the ocean absorb carbon during photosynthesis, thus creating carbohydrates and sugars. When land animals and marine life consume plants or phytoplankton, carbon is obtained from photosynthesis. Organisms release this carbon when they breathe, create waste products, die or decompose. Carbon then returns to the soil and is released into the atmosphere and some forms into rocks.
- 9. Importance of the carbon cycle
- 10. â—Š It is critical to the food chain-If plants and other organisms who photosynthesize were not able to get carbon, they would die as they could not produce food. This would result in other organisms that depend on them for food dying. â—Š Carbon is found in the oceans, forests and the atmosphere known as sinks. These areas would collect dangerous levels of carbon without the carbon cycle. This would most likely kill living organisms that live in this area. â—Š The cycle is important as it allows carbon to flow from areas where it is collected into other areas of the earth.
