1 The Carbon Cycle

2 The Basis for all Life The Basis for all Life Fuel source Fuel source Major compound in the complex molecules DNA, RNA Major compound in the complex molecules DNA, RNA Very small component in the atmosphere but extremely important Very small component in the atmosphere but extremely important Carbon Cycle Part I: Important Fundamentals

3 Part II, A: Carbon Storage Sinks Organic Molecules- in both dead and living organisms Organic Molecules- in both dead and living organisms CO 2 - is present in the atmosphere CO 2 - is present in the atmosphere Organic Matter in the soil Organic Matter in the soil Lithosphere (ground)- fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks Lithosphere (ground)- fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks Oceans as dissolved CO 2 and CaCO 3 (Carbon dioxide and Calcium carbonate) Oceans as dissolved CO 2 and CaCO 3 (Carbon dioxide and Calcium carbonate)
