1. The Carbon Cycle

2. Science 10 Data Booklet

3. Shows Three Parts to the cycle 1)Cycling Carbon: The carbon that is moving through the ecosystem

4. Science 10 Data Booklet

5. Shows Three Parts to the cycle 1)Cycling Carbon: The carbon that is moving through the ecosystem 2)Stored Carbon: The carbon that is not available

6. Science 10 Data Booklet

7. Shows Three Parts to the cycle 1)Cycling Carbon: The carbon that is moving through the ecosystem 2)Stored Carbon: The carbon that is not available 3)Carbon exchange: The trade off. How much is going in and how much is going out of a store

9. Cycling carbon comes in four pathways 1)Photosynthesis: Plants use carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen CO 2 + H 2 O -> C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2

10. Cycling carbon comes in four pathways 1)Photosynthesis: Plants use carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen CO 2 + H 2 O -> C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 2) Cellular respiration: Animals and plants breakdown sugar to make carbon dioxide and water C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 -> CO 2 + H 2 O

11. Cycling carbon comes in four pathways 3) Decomposition: Bacteria and fungi break down organisms into organic matter

12. Cycling carbon comes in four pathways 3) Decomposition: Bacteria and fungi break down organisms into organic matter 4) Food Web: Carbon moves between plants and animals during the food web interaction (Eg. Carbon from plants moves into deer)

13. Carbon Exchange Carbon Moves in and out of stores at certain rates: – The up arrow shows carbon leaving the store. – The down arrow shows carbon entering a store

14. Carbon Stores Long term storage of carbon. This carbon is not yet available to the biotic factors in the ecosystem.
