Summarize the carbon cycle starting and ending with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.?
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
What name is given to the process by which detritivores return carbon to the atmosphere?
Decomposition. Detritivores are decaying organic creatures, their faecal matter, or both. The carbon in their remains decomposes into the atmosphere.
What process do organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
respiration
How is carbon returned to the atmosphere?
Carbon isn't - it's not a gas or vapour. It is present in (rather obviously) the compound Carbon Dioxide, produced by animals' respiration, by combustion or by decomposition.
How does human beings return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
inhale and exhale
How does carbon return to the earth's atmosphere from the soil?
Decomposition.

Does decomposition increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
probaly yes, because when something is in decomposition state it realeses gas called carbon dioxide
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
What would be the impact on the nitrogen cycle if there were decrease in decomposition in a 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 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.
3 ways carbon atoms return to the nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
What are three ways carbon atoms return to thr nonliving part of the carbon cycle?
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
What process do organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
respiration
What two processes return carbon from organisms to the nonliving environment?
combustion (burning of fossil fuels) and decomposition.
