What processes puts carbon from a forest floor back into the atmosphere?
Combustion.
How is carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere?
There is the natural carbon cycle, in which animals exhale carbon dioxide, but plants absorb the gas and use it to build their cells, which are of course consumed by the animals. Death and rotting are also part of this long-term cycle. However this does not add new carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and concentrations remained relatively constant in the range 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm) prior to the start of the Industrial Age.Relatively small amounts of new carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions.Anthropogenic additions of new carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and manufacturing cement.Deforestation releases into the atmosphere carbon dioxide that is not strictly from 'new' carbon but which was stored in the forests for many thousands of years, thereby adding to the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.A:After plants go through photosynthesis and when they die and decay, it comes back up into the atmosphere. By animals, the carbon is released by the animal dying and decaying into the soil, and also carbon goes into the atmosphere from the body of the dead animal..Carbon dioxide is released into the air by doing simple every-day activities, such as using a dishwasher or a microwave, using air conditioning, or even turning on a light. The biggest producers of carbon dioxide are cars. In the US alone cars released 314 million metric tons in 2004. Carbon dioxide is also released into the air when plants or animals die. Bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers break down their parts, and release carbon dioxide into the air.
What is the role of microorganisms in returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
this microorganisms is called denitrifying bacteria, it helps to decompose the nutrients (nitrogen) back to the atmosphere. and the process of returning nitrogen or carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is called denitrification.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Where does an animals or plant carbon go when it dies?
The carbon is released back into the carbon pool in the atmosphere
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
This gas is carried back to the heart and then to the lungs where it is released back into the atmosphere?
CO2 - Carbon dioxide.
How could carbon atoms in the body of a dead tree get back into the atmosphere directly from the tree?
When a tree decomposes, all the carbon dioxide it absorbed is released back into the atmosphere driven by heterotrophic activities.
One way carbon flows through eaerh's system is though organisms which convert the carbon from carbohydrates and release the carbon back into the atmosphere in the form of?
carbon is moved back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

How does carbon dioxide go back to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.
What does cellular respiration have to do with the carbon cycle?
It puts the carbon back into the atmosphere
How does carbon get into the atmosphere?
Carbon gets back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuels, and the cellular respiration of living things.
What gas do animals produce that puts carbon back into the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
What burning of plant material returns to the carbon?
It returns carbon back into the atmosphere.
How does carbon dioxide get from toes back to the atmosphere?
from the but hole
