Why is decomposition important to the carbon cycle?
decomposition is important because it produces light and oxygen for us to live.
3 ways carbon atoms return to the nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
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.
What would be the impact on the nitrogen cycle if there were a decrease in decomposition in the given ecosystem?
The impact on the nitrogen cycle if there were a decrease in decomposition in a given ecosystem wouldn't be enough nitrogen to return the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into energy rich carbon compound.
How do sphagnum mosses contribute to the carbon cycle?
They produce protons, which limit decomposition and CO2 production in peat bogs.
Which cycle is decomposition important?
The carbon cycle
When an animal exhales it releases carbon into the atmosphere What is another way in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle?
When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.
When an animal exhales it releases carbon into the atmosphere. What is another way in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle?
When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.
Fungi and bacteria are part of the life cycle?
Decomposition
What is the role of microorganisms in a carbon cycle?
One role is to break down dead matter (animal & plant) to release the carbon stores within it.
Why is decomposition important to the carbon cycle?
decomposition is important because it produces light and oxygen for us to live.
3 ways carbon atoms return to the nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
What does photosynthetic bacteria have to do with the carbon cycle?
Photosynthetic bacteria require CO2 for making food in the form of starch through photosynthesis and this CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced as a result of the carbon cycle.
