THE CARBON CYCLE

What Is Carbon? An element The basis of life on earth Present in rocks, oceans and atmosphere

Carbon Cycle Carbon is cycled between the earth and the atmosphere

Plants Use Carbon Dioxide Plants pull carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere and use it to make food The carbon becomes part of the plant (stored food)

Animals Eat Plants When organisms consume plants, they take in the carbon and some of it becomes part of their own bodies. Plants use their stored food for growth and repair Plants need food too!

Cellular respiration gives carbon back to the atmosphere (CO 2 )

Decomposition of Plants and Animals When plants and animals die, most of their bodies are decomposed and carbon atoms are returned to the atmosphere. Some are not decomposed fully and end up in deposits underground as fossil fuels (oil, coal, etc.).

Fossil Fuels Return to the atmosphere when people use them for automobiles and factories (combustion).

The Carbon Cycle

Carbon in Oceans Carbon is also stored in the ocean. Carbon is found in the form of calcium carbonate in the shell of aquatic species. When animals die, carbon substances are deposited at the bottom of oceans. Oceans contain earth’s largest reservoir of carbon.

Human Impact The release of carbon in fossil fuels is very slow Burning releases additional carbon into atmosphere — especially fossil fuels Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere increases global warming Fewer plants mean less CO 2 removed from atmosphere
