Carbon Cycle: Tyler Parris

 Carbon Cycle

-The Carbon Cycle is the fundamental building block of life and an important component of many chemical processes


-Step 1: Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon Dioxide from respiration and combusting.

-Step 2: Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis. These producers then put off oxygen.

Step 3: Animals feed on the plants, passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most of the carbon these animals consume is  exhaled as carbon dioxide. The is through the process of respiration. The animals and plants eventually die.


Step 4: The dead organisms are eaten decomposers in the ground. The carbon that was in their bodies is then returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In some circumstances the process of decomposition is prevented. The decomposed plants and animals may then be available as fossil fuels in the future for combustion.

Reflection
-From this I learned that the Carbon Cycle can lead to the production of Fossil Fuels.
-This can be used outside of biology to find out what the basic unit of human and animal life is.
-The thing that I leaned from this was I didn't know that the carbon cycle had to do with fossil fuels.
