What else can I help you with?
Where do primary consumers get there carbon from?
Primary consumers get their carbon from the plants and other autotrophic organisms that they consume as food. These plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into organic compounds through photosynthesis, which then gets passed on to the primary consumers when they eat the plant material.
What process do producers take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Producers, such as plants, take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
What the process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals adds carbon to ther atmosphere?
The Carbon Cycle With decomposition and respiration being the two individual processes you named.The carbon cycle is very important for all organisms. Carbon Dioxide is all around us and most organisms continually recycle it through the ecosystem. Plants convert the Carbon Dioxide to glucose through photosynthesis. This provides energy for the plants. It moves through the food chain by consumption of the plants and provides energy for the different consumers. Animals recycle carbon dioxide through respiration. The lungs provide gas exchange and releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide is also released into the atmosphere from industrial pollutants.
Why carbon can not enter the atmosphere?
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.
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during what?
Water vapor is released back into the atmosphere through the process of evaporation. Carbon is released back into the atmosphere through the process of respiration and combustion. Nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere through the process of nitrogen fixation by bacteria.
In the global carbon cycle carbon flows from consumers to producers in the form of?
In the global carbon cycle, carbon flows from consumers to producers in the form of organic compounds, such as glucose, through processes like photosynthesis. Consumers obtain carbon by consuming organic matter produced by producers, and this carbon is then released back into the environment through processes like respiration and decomposition.
What role do producers and consumers play in the carbon cycle?
Producers (like plants) play a crucial role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and converting it into organic compounds. Consumers, both animals and humans, then consume these organic compounds and release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through respiration, completing the carbon cycle.
Where do producers get the carbon dioxide they need to make food?
Producers get the carbon dioxide they need to make food from the atmosphere. They take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, a process in which they convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
How does the carbon cycle flow to producers to consumers?
Producers take in carbon dioxide in its gaseous form from the air during the process of photosynthesis, and use the carbon from the CO2 to create food molecules such as sugars and starches. When these producers are eaten by heterotrophs, they also take in the carbon that is contained in the food molecules that were created by the plants. Later, while breaking down the food molecules, the consumers release CO2 and water as waste products. When these consumers die, the decomposers break down the heterotroph and return the carbon compounds back to the soil.
Where do primary consumers get their carbon?
its from C02
How is carbon dioxide returned the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
How is carbon dioxide returned to the. atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
What do consumers need to to survive?
Consumers need producers to survive
How does carbon become of living organisms?
Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
Are animals are considered to be producers in the carbon cycle?
No. Animals are consumers. Plants are producers.
What producers and consumers give off?
carbon dioxide
The exchange of gases between producers and consumers is called a carbon dioxide and oxygen what?
The exchange of gases between producers (plants) and consumers (animals) is called respiration. During respiration, animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, while plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis.
