Carbon CycleThe carbon cycle is a

biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is cycled throughout the earth.

Carbon cycles throughout plants, animals and the atmosphere in 4 steps.

Page 4: Carbon Cycle

PhotosynthesisThe process of

autotrophs taking in sunlight, carbon dioxide and water and converting it into glucose and oxygen.

Page 5: Carbon Cycle

Cellular RespirationThe process of

organisms taking glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) and converting it into energy needed to carry our life processes.

Exs. Mitosis, active transport, running, thinking, eating, meiosis.

Decompositionprocess by which

tissues of a dead organism break down into simpler forms of matter.

Returns carbon to the soil.

Page 7: Carbon Cycle

Combustiona chemical reaction

producing noticeable light and heat.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a product of combustion.
