It's part of the Carbon Cycle. By humans breathing in oxygen, your body stores complex carbohydrates internelly as a source of energy before converting the carbon back to Co2, via aerobic respiration.

How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?

Carbon is cycled from the atmosphere to producers (plants) through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide to produce glucose. Consumers then consume these plants, obtaining carbon by eating them. When consumers respire or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.


Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?

Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.


What is an example for when the atmosphere carbon to the hydrosphere?

An example of carbon moving from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere is when carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere dissolves into the oceans. This process, known as carbon sequestration, helps regulate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and directly impacts the ocean's acidity levels.


What is the difference between a carbon source and a carbon sink in the context of the carbon cycle?

In the carbon cycle, a carbon source releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink absorbs and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


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.

What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?

Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.


How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?

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.

How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?

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.
