The carbon cycle is when plants convert carbon dioxide, CO2, from the atmosphere into carbohydrates, such as glucose, C6H12O6. Then, organisms eat the plants and obtain the carbon from the carbohydrates. Next, organisms' bodies break down the carbohydrates and release some of the carbon back into the air as CO2.

What is the mass of carbon in the Earth's carbon cycle.?

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.The biosphere, oceans, atmosphere contain about 0.45 * 1018 kilograms of carbon;The organic carbon content of the earth's crust (fossil fuels) is 13.2 * 1018 kilograms of carbon;The carbon forming components of crustal minerals (limestones etc) is 62.4 * 1018 kilograms of carbon;( and the Earths interior (mantle) contains 1200 × 1018 kilograms of carbon but this is not directly linked to the Earths Carbon cycle. )The total mass of carbon in the carbon cycle is therefore 76.05 * 1018 kilograms.


Why is it important for carbon to be recycled in an ecosystem?

What are earths three cycles?

The three cycles on Earth are the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. The water cycle involves the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon between living organisms, the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's crust. The nitrogen cycle involves the processes by which nitrogen is converted and circulated in the environment.
