Phytoplankton play an important role in the carbon cycle because?

Phytoplankton helps to balance carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere while the ocean absorbs it. If there were no phytoplankton left, then carbon dioxide levels would increase in the atmosphere.

What is photosynthesis important in the carbon cycle?
cause photosynthesis is a form of scientifickness
What is the continuous movement of carbon from nonliving environment into living things and then back to nonliving?
the carbon cycle
What cycle involves photosynthesis and respiration?
No cycle. Transpiration is part of the water cycle, and photosynthesis is what plants do to feed themselves.Carbon cycle involves both of them. Photosynthesis remove Carbon from atmosphere. Respiration release them back
How are the oxygen and carbon cycles linked?
All three cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen, and the oxagen cycle recycles the oxagen. both cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen.
What is the process that is the basis of the carbon cycle?
process that is the basis of the carbon cycle
How does Phytoplankton help us?
phytpplakton gives us oxygen for us to breath.
How the Carbon cycle is important?
Because without it we would all die
Which cycle is decomposition important?
The carbon cycle
Why is decomposition important to the carbon cycle?
decomposition is important because it produces light and oxygen for us to live.
What drives the oxygen-carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle occurs when the carbon atoms are recycled over and over again on earth. The carbon cycle is the most important recycling cycle because carbon is present in every living thing on earth.
Phytoplankton are part of which biogeochemical cycle?
Oxygen cycle
The important cycle in nature that depends on photosynthesis is the?
The Carbon Cycle. Carbon is taken from Carbon Dioxide in the air to stored as sugar in the plant.
What are three important cycles in ecosystems?
The Nitrogen Cycle, The Carbon Cycle,and The Water Cycle
Why are fungi and worms important to the carbon cycle?
because through them nutrients in the ecosystem can be used again and again
Is carbon oxygen cycle important?
yes...
What organisms are important in the carbon cycle?
sure
Phytoplankton are a part of which biogeochemical cycle?
oxygen
