What elements is stored in Earth in buried animal and plant remains?
It's carbon. The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon atoms are recycled over and over again on Earth.
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
In what bonds is the chemical energy stored in fats and in carbohydrates?
In fats, its mainly stored in carbon-carbon bonds. In carbs, its mainly stored in both carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds.
Where is carbon stored in a cycle?
The carbon cycle occurs throughout the entire planet. Respiration occurs in all living organisms, carbon fixation occurs in all autotrophs, decomposition takes place everywhere due to bacteria and fungi, carbon dioxide emissions take place in all areas containing factories, cars and such.
How is human interference in the carbon cycle causing an increase in global temperatures?
The carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide (CO2) in and out of the atmosphere. It has been doing this for millions of years and this, together with the greenhouse effect, has kept the earth warm enough for life all that time.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon that was stored underground 300 million years ago, during the Permian Period.Releasing it now, as we do, adds CO2 that is extra, and more then the natural carbon cycle can manage to remove from the atmosphere. This is how we are interfering in the carbon cycle. This is what is causing global warming.
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.
Which biogeochemical cycle includes a reservoir underground stored as fossil fuels?
Carbon Cycleor if you want to call it the Carbon/ Oxygen Cycle
Why is removing stored carbon from fossil fuels a problem?
It is a problem because the carbon has been stored for 300 million years. Adding it to the atmosphere now is too much for the carbon cycle to manage, so levels build up causing global warming.
How is carbon moved from the atmosphere?
Carbon is not 'moved' from the atmosphere. It can be absorbed and stored by things like plants and animals, but when they die and decay the carbon will go back into the carbon cycle again. Try googling 'carbon cycle'
What elements is stored in Earth in buried animal and plant remains?
It's carbon. The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon atoms are recycled over and over again on Earth.
What is the continuous movement of carbon from nonliving environment into living things and then back to nonliving?
the carbon cycle
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
What is stored in carbon bonds?
Glucose is stored in carbon bonds.
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
Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What are the nature cycles?
nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, and sulfur cycle
In what bonds is the chemical energy stored in fats and in carbohydrates?
In fats, its mainly stored in carbon-carbon bonds. In carbs, its mainly stored in both carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds.
