In
the image above is The Carbon-Cycle is a cycle where carbon is swapped between
the Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and the Atmosphere.
All living things are made up by carbon.
Carbon cycle is found everywhere it
is a very important element that makes up organic matter. Since earth is in motion the earth
does not stay still.
“In the carbon cycle, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere and use it, combined with water they get from the soil, to make the
substances they need for growth” says Projects by Students for Students
Oracle Think West
Educational Foundation. The process of photosynthesis turns Carbon atoms from
Carbon Dioxide into sugars. Animals, such as rabbits and cows eat the plants and
use the carbon to build their own tissues. These animals return carbon dioxide
into the air when they breathe, and when they die, since the carbon is returned
to the soil during decomposition.
The
carbon atoms in soil may then be used in a new plant or small microorganisms.
Finally, the same atom can move through many organisms and even end in the same
place where it started.
