The cow eats the grass; as the grass regrows, it takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into its growing leaves and roots (along with other nutrients) and stores the carbon molecules in the soil. The cow that ate the grass also has to excrete her wastes, which turns back into the soil through the act of decomposition. She also releases carbon into the atmosphere, but it is quickly put back into the earth by the plants that breathe it in and exhale oxygen through the act of photosynthesis.

What impact do insects and animals have ont the carbon cycle?
Animals and insects form a part of the carbon cycle, eating and breathing, and then releasing the carbon as gas and waste.
Humans breathing is a factor that causes an imbalance in the carbon cycle?
No, this is not true. Human breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We breathe it in, (and we take it in by eating and drinking) and we breathe it out.
Is exhaust part of the carbon cycle?
carbon
Is animal waste part of the Carbon Cycle?
It is part of the nitrogen cycle
What is another way in which an animal is part of carbon cycle?
There are many ways in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle. Animals breathe out carbon dioxide that plants breathe in.
What transpiration part of the carbon cycle?
Transpiration takes part in the carbon cycle by converting the light energy in photosynthesis through the stomata...
How does carbon dioxide enter the living part of the carbon cycle?
What
What Fossil fuels are part of which cycle?
All fossil fuels are part of the carbon cycle.
How does native tall grass affect the carbon cycle?
Like all vegetation, native tall grass is part of the carbon cycle. Plants use photosynthesis to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Later when the plant is eaten, or burnt, or degrades, that carbon finds its way back into the atmosphere. Each year the land and its vegetation puts 439 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air. It also removes about 450 billion tons of carbon dioxide in the same year.
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
The combustion of coal oil and gas is part of what cycle?
The carbon cycle.
Photosynthesis is a part of the carbon cycle the product of photosynthesis is?
carbon dioxide
