Lets talk about the carbon cycle.
Carbon cycle
The carbon cycle refers to the movement of carbon through the living and nonliving parts of the environment.
- Air contains carbon in the form of a gas, and carbon dioxide.
- Plants and other photosynthetic organisms remove carbon dioxide from the air from during the photosynthesis.
- These organisms use carbon to make food molecules.
Consumers break down food molecules to obtain energy.
- Release carbon dioxide as waste.
When producers and consumers die, their remains are broken down by decomposers.
- Returns carbon compounds to soil.
- Releases carbon dioxide into the air.
How do consumers obtain the carbon that they need for their life processes?
