carbon cycle

Question 1

first step of the carbon cycle?

Answer 1

carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Question 2

second step of the carbon cycle?

Answer 2

enters the carbon cycle by photosynthesis of the plants and the algae - to make carbohydrates,proteins and fats

Question 3

third step of the carbon cycle?

Answer 3

it goes back into the atmosphere by aerobic respiration

Question 4

step 4 of the carbon cycle?

Answer 4

plants and algae are then eaten by animals and then the animals are then eaten by other animals - carbohydrates,proteins and fats in animals

Question 5

step 5 in the carbon cycle?

Answer 5

the animals then respire and some of the carbon dioxide is then released back into the atmosphere

Question 6

step 6 of the carbon cycle?

Answer 6

release waste products and then plants and the animals die

Question 7

step 7 of the carbon cycle?

Answer 7

waste products and dead remains are now decomposed by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi

Question 8

step 8 of the carbon cycle?

Answer 8

the microorganisms then repsire and the carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere

Question 9

why may decomposers not function effectively?

Answer 9

due to a lack of oxygen - slowly converted to fossil fuels of the carbon of the dead remains - when burning the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere
