Question

Describe the carbon cycle with a suitable diagrammatic representation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Carbon Dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis.
• During this process CO2 is converted to Glucose .
• Some amount of this Glucose is used for respiration by plant.
• Rest of it converted to other carbohydrates and fats stored in various parts of plants.
• When animals eats plants these carbon containing compounds are taken up by the animals and digested and absorbed.
• These are used by animals for respiration.
• Thus carbon in carbon dioxides in atmosphere find its way into animals.
• Metabollic degradation of these compounds especially during respiration, releases the CO2 into air.
• Decomposition of dead bodies of animals and plants by bacteria also releases CO2 into air.
• Thus the CO2 find its own way into the bodies of animals and plants and back to air.
