Carbon Cycle Biology

Photosynthesis

The process in which plants take CO2 from the atmosphere and water from the ground to convert them into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Cellular Respiration

The process in which organisms use oxygen and glucose the create water and CO2 by using glucose energy

Feeding

When one organisms eats another.

Decompistion

A process in which organisms die and decompose overtime.

Depositon

Accumaltion and settling of materials of materials on to a surface to form rock.

Uplift

Mountain building events expose

Exchange

The ocean constantly absorbs from the atmosphere and releases it back in a natural balancing act.

Uplift

Mountain processes and tectonic processes causes marine sediments and deep rocks to be exposed to the surface again.

Erosion

Rain and wind react with the carbon rock and marine sediments to carry organic carbon compound into the rivers. The microbes in the river help make CO2.
