The Carbon - Oxygen Cycle Note: The carbon and oxygen cycles are independent but very closely related. The two cycles have been combined in the assignment below. Some of the information that you find on the carbon cycle will not contain information on the oxygen cycle. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in by plants to be used in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon based compounds are produced from this CO2 and the water (H2O) that is absorbed by the roots of the plant. Plants give off oxygen (O2) as a waste product of photosynthesis. When animals consume plants or other animals they take in the carbon based compounds. Animals inhale the O2 given off by plants and exhale CO2, a waste product of cellular respiration. Plants also take in CO2 and release O2 during the process of cellular respiration. The activities described above are just a part of the interactions which take place in the carbon - oxygen cycle
Plants use CO2 and sunlight to produce C6H12O6 (fruit sugar).
When the plant is eaten by an animal. The animal then uses the fruit sugar to produce energy and CO2.
photosynthesis
Earth is not a carbon-based planet. It is a metal-silicate planet. It has a silicate crust and mantle and a metallic core.Life on Earth is said to be carbon based.
the back bone of life is carbon and with out it you would run out and all living things would die.
The carbon cycle is the set of biogeochemical processes by which carbon undergoes chemical reactions, changes form, and moves through different reservoirs on earth, including living organisms.The geological component of the carbon cycle is driven by plate tectonics and includes processes like volcanic eruptions and burial of carbon-rich sediments on the ocean floor.The biological component of the carbon cycle is driven by respirationand photosynthesis by living organisms.Humans influence the global carbon cycle in several ways, but primarily through burning fossil fuels.
Yes. Water is an essential part of life for all carbon-based life forms. It helps process the nutrients in our body, keeps us hydrated, and breaks down polar compounds, allowing us to absorb vital ions.
Carbonaceous film fossils are traces of plants or animals preserved as a thin film of carbon. All living organisms contain carbon. If they are compressed by layers of sediment fine details of the organism may be preserved.
TRUE
Carbon mostly but also nitrogen makes up the largest part of living things.
The process of carbon-14 absorption is still continuous.
Carbon helps in the process of photosynthesis.Without plants,there is no life on earth.
Photosynthesis
The process in which humans carbon date things involves the subject to be unliving, or rather, by the end of the process they would be unliving.
carbon dating
The process of photosynthesis is called air purifing process as during this process plants take in carbon dioxide released from living body and gives out oxygen needed for the living organisms
cycles
The process that uses half life in its computation is carbon-14 dating. Carbon-14 dating of a former living thing determines the age at death.
the main constituents of living organisms is carbon with first position then oxygen with second hydrogen with third and nitrogen with fourth, the carbon is the most abundant portion in living organism and nitrogen least quantity. The free nitrogen quantity in atmosphere is considerably more.
