Question

Describe the role of respiration in the carbon cycle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

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.
