What is photosynthesis (6CO2+6H20=C6H12O6+6O2)
Process in which producers remove CO2 from atmosphere.
100
What is diffusion
How carbon enters the ocean.
100
What is cellular respiration (6O2+C6H12O6=6CO2+6H2O+ATP+heat)
The process in which consumers release carbon back into the atmosphere.
200
What is a reservoir
Serves this purpose in the cycle.
200
What is algae/phytoplankton
These producers convert carbon in photosynthesis.
200
What are carbohydrates
Producers use the carbon for this type of energy to store in their tissue.
300
What are fossil fuels
Combustion of these causes mass amounts of carbon in atmosphere.
300
What is sedimentation/sedimentary rock.
This process forms CO2 into this type of rock.
300
What is breaking down organic matter/releasing carbon back to atmosphere
Decomposers play this role in the cycle.
400
What are greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide is considered one of these, which build up in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.
400
What are large carbon reservoirs
These are formed by sedimentation.
400
What is the soil
Where carbon can be released besides the atmosphere.
500
What are the 1800s
Since this time period, burning fossil fuels became a large scale issue.
500
What are carbon sinks
Oceans are considered these, which hold and absorb mass amounts of carbon.
500
What is their tissue
This is where consumers store carbon that isn't released in cellular respiration.
