Carbon is one element in CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas contributor that is produced by man. Almost 6% of all CO2 is man made. The remaining 94% is natural. Carbon dioxide makes up roughly 5% of all greenhouse gases present, but it is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
yes the atmosphere is a long term carbon store
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
carboncycle
- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Carbon can enter the atmosphere. It moves in and out of the atmosphere through the earth's regular carbon cycle.What it can not do is enter as pure carbon. Carbon is a solid in it's natural state and solids fall out of our atmosphere. Carbon must mix with a gas, such as oxygen, to create another gas, carbon dioxide, to enter the atmosphere.
Carbon Cycle.
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.

How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
The carbon cycle
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
