When a plant dies what happens to its carbon?
it is released back into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide.
Where does animal or plant carbon go when it dies?
Much of it will be given off to the air as carbon dioxide.
What happens to the carbon in plants when the plant dies?
If the plant "rots" it eventually gets released into the air as CO2. Only if it is "preserved" (underground or underwater) does it eventually turn into "fossil fuel".
True or false When organism dies scavengers return carbon compounds to the soil and carbon dioxide into the air?
false
What happens to a plant that has been sprinkled with salt?
it dies
Why is carbon dioxide released from dead roots?
For a plant to live, it breathes in carbon dioxide. When a plant dies it still has to go somewhere if it isn't used, because the plant will start to decompose, so the carbon dioxide is released
When a plant dies what happens to its carbon?

What happens to carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle?
In the carbon cycle plants capture carbon dioxide , reacting it with water to produce sugars and oxygen gas. Animals can then eat those plants and react the sugars with oxygen, re-releasing the carbon dioxide. A similar process occurs when the plant or animal dies and decomposes, is burned in a fire, or if the animal itself is eaten.

How does a carbon atom get from the atmosphere to a fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels were at one time living organisms (usually plants). The plants took in carbon dioxide from the air and then release oxygen. The carbon is stored in the plant. When the plant dies, the carbon stays in it, throughout the transformations it goes through to become a fossil fuel. When the fuel is burned, the carbon is release in the burning process, usually in the form of carbon dioxide.
How do organism add carbon to the atmosphere?
When a organism dies and decays it emits carbon dioxide.
How do plants participate in the cycling of oxygen and carbon dioxide on earth?
Right, to keep it quick and easy: Plant takes in Carbon dioxide, turns it into oxygen. Although plant also respires at night releasing CO2 and using O2, that doesn't matter as it releases more oxygen than it does carbon dioxide. When the plant dies and rots, the bacteria and fungi which break it down repire, and so the carbon cycle is completed as the co2 is once more released into the atmosphere ready to be consumed by another plant. hope that helps.
What will happen if anything happens when an animal or plant becomes extinct?
Advantage if animal dies: We can have more space to live on, and we don't need to share oxygen. Disadvantage if animal dies: The predators will have a less choice of prey for themselves. They might also be extinct soon. Advantage if plant dies: If it's poisonous, then less people will be ill. Disadvantage if plant dies: Because plants turn carbon dioxide to oxygen, we will have less oxygen to breathe on, might resulting into death of other animals.
How does photosynthesis affect the carbon dioxide balance of the atmosphere?
One of the key elements in photosynthesis, is carbon dioxide. As we need food, so do plants. Plants do this by taking neutriance water, the suns energy and carbon dioxide to create a substance called glucose. This reduces the amount of carbon in the air, and in the process releases oxygen for us to breathe.
Where does an animals or plant carbon go when it dies?
The carbon is released back into the carbon pool in the atmosphere
What happens to the carbon in plants when the plant dies?
If the plant "rots" it eventually gets released into the air as CO2. Only if it is "preserved" (underground or underwater) does it eventually turn into "fossil fuel".
Will planting trees improve carbon dioxide levels?
In the short term, yes. As the trees grow, they sequester carbon from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by turning it into wood. However, when the tree dies and decays or burns, much of that carbon returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
