Question

How is the carbon cycle related to energy flow in ecosystems?

Answer 1

When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.

Answer 2

HEY MATE HERE'S UR ANS :- THE RESERVOIRS OF CARBON ARE :-

1. CARBON DIOXIDE PRESENT IN AIR

# CARBON DISSOLVED IN WATER

# CARBONATES IN EARTH CRUST

# FOSSIL FUELS LIKE COAL AND PETROLEUM

CO2 UTILIZATION :- CARBON DIOXIDE IS USED BY GREEN PLANTS FOR THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND OXYGEN IS RELEASED AS BY PRODUCT . THE FIXED CARBON ENTERS THE FOOD CHAIN AND PASSED HERBIVORES , CARNIVOROUS AND DECOMPOSERS ..

CO2 PRODUCTION AND RETURN TO ATMOSPHERE :- BURNING OF WOOD AND FOSSIL FUELS ALSO PRODUCE CO2

2. VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND HOT SPRINGS ARE ALSO RELEASE CO2 IN ATMOSPHERE

HOPE THIS HELPS UU
