Plants & The Carbon Cycle
• Plants take in carbon
  dioxide and convert it to
  sugar which can be stored
  until used for energy.
• This process is called
  photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis:


CO2 + H2O + sunlight
 yields O2 + C6H12O6
Plants & The Carbon Cycle
• Plants release carbon
  dioxide as a waste product
  when they convert their
  stored sugar to chemical
  energy.
• This process is called
  respiration.
Respiration:


C6H12O6 + O2 yields CO2 +
H2O + energy
Animals & The Carbon
          Cycle
• Animals eat carbon
  contained in animal and
  plant tissues and release
  carbon dioxide as a waste
  product.
• This process is respiration.
Decay & The Carbon Cycle:
• Decomposers release the
  carbon from dead plant
  and animal tissues back
  into the atmosphere.
Fossil Fuels & The Carbon
          Cycle:
• Over millions
  of years fossil
  fuels may
  form from the
  buried
  remains of
  plants and
  animals.
Fossil Fuels & The Carbon
          Cycle:

             • This carbon
               reenters the
               atmosphere
               during
               combustion.
The Oceans & The Carbon
        Cycle:
• Dissolved
  carbon
  dioxide in sea
  water
  becomes
  deposited as
  calcium
  carbonate
  shells.
The Oceans & The Carbon
        Cycle:
            • Over millions
              of years,
              these shells
              form
              sedimentary
              rock.
• Ocean deposits are the
  biggest sink of carbon on
  the planet.
• The Rock Cycle ultimately
  releases carbon stored in
  sedimentary rock.
