It is a cyclic movement.
There are an oxygen cycle, a carbon cycle and a nitrogen cycle.
Oxygen is inhaled by animals, who them exhale it as carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is inhaled by green plant life, where it undergoes photosynthesis, and is exhaled as oxygen. The carbon remaining in the plant as biomass.
The carbon in biomass is eaten by animals. Animals then convert carbon to carbon dioxide and exhale it. It then undergoes photosynthesis, and thre carbon component is retained in the plant as biomass.

How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?
So the movement of oxygen in the body is different to the movement of carbon dioxide as while oxygen enters the red blood cells during this movement the carbon dioxide stays out. It stays in the plasma. Also for the movement of carbon dioxide to happen oxygen is needed. Its a product of aerobic respiration. The movement of oxygen in the body is similar to the movement of carbon dioxide as both processes require respiration and pass through the walls of the capillaries.
Carbon Dioxide Would Increase In The Environment If?
Carbon Dioxide would increase in the environment if the rain forests are demolished.
Describe two impacts of fossil fuels on the environment?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas, into the environment. This is contributing to global warming.Burning fossil fuels also releases other pollutants, like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.
What are two substances which pollute the environment when fuels burn?
1)sulfur dioxide 2)carbon dioxide
How do hybrids help the environment?
They do not consume gas as much, and that means emitting less carbon dioxide into the environment.
Is respiratory a system?
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
What are two things a scientist might ask about the movement of carbon dioxide through a whale and its surroundings?
A scientist might ask through what process the whale obtains the carbon dioxide. Additionally a scientist might ask what effect the carbon dioxide would have on the surrounding environment.

How can you describe oxygen?
It is a gas that is required for a person to breath, its a mixture between water and carbon dioxide(i think) which is H2O.
Carbon Dioxide Would Increase In The Environment If?
Carbon Dioxide would increase in the environment if the rain forests are demolished.
What form of carbon do plants remove from the environment?
Plants remove Carbon Dioxide from the environment.
How will describe the sequence of oxygen carbon dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will describe the sequence of oxygen carbon dioxide blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will you describe the sequence oxygen of carbon dioxide of blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon-dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
