CARBON CYCLE
Carbon Cycle
The movement of carbon from the non-living environment into living things and back
Major Elements CO2
O: Oxygen
C: Carbon
C6H12O6:Glucose
Decomposing bacteria: bacteria that break down organic
material
Waste:
a resource that is not safely recycled back into the environment
Dead organism:
something that was once living
Carbon sink:
natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores more carbon than it releases
Examples: Forests, soils, oceans and the atmosphere
Combustion
To burn something
Glucose
Molecular formula: C6H12O6 Glucose is a carbohydrate (sugar) used
for energy
Photosynthesis
The process in which plants, algae, and some use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen
Respiration
organisms release/use energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose (C6H12O6)
How the cycle works:
What goes into animal – O2 What goes out of animal –CO2 What goes into plant- CO2 What goes out of plant- O2 What is stored in animal- carbon and
carbohydrates What is stored in plant- carbon and
carbohydrates How stored products get back out of animal
and plant- waste and dead organism
How the cycle works answers
What goes into animal – What goes out of animal – What goes into plant- What goes out of plant- What is stored in animal- What is stored in plant- How stored products get back out of animal and
plant-
