How is carbon from abiotic environments transferred to organisms?

Carbon gets transferred from living organisms to the atmosphere through respiration this is when plants and animals give off carbon dioxide this is part of the carbon cycle.Respiration risesAnimal


What are the role of living things in carbon oxygen cycle?

Living things play a crucial role in the carbon-oxygen cycle by both consuming and producing these elements. Through processes like photosynthesis, plants and other producers take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which animals then use for respiration. When animals exhale, they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.


How does carbon dioxide leave the atmosphere and end up in living things?

One big way it leaves the atmosphere is by being consumed by living plants in the process of photosynthesis that results in sugars and other carbon-containing compounds like cellulose. Herbivores (plant-eaters) then consume these and integrate the carbon matter, so to speak, into their own systems.


What is the role of living organisms in the carbon cycle?

Animal's role in the carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between plants. Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and the byproduct is oxygen that all living things need to live. Then animals breath out carbon dioxide to be in taken by plants.


How do people and other living things get carbon?

people and other living things get carbon from the continuous exchange of carbon among living things (the carbon cycle).

Animals obtain their energy and carbon from?

Animals obtain their energy and carbon from consuming other living organisms, such as plants or other animals. They break down these organic molecules through digestion to extract the energy and carbon they need for their own growth, metabolism, and reproduction.


What is the meaning of Oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle?

How would a day be without carbon?

i would say it would be a lifeless day. because all living organisms contain carbon, and a day without carbon means wiping out all living organisms (human beings, animals, plants) from the earth.
