carbon cycle
what puts carbon into the air
animals/fossil fuels
what do plants give
oxygen
how many atoms are in carbon dioxide
6 neutrons, 6 electrons
what do animals breath
oxygen
what are fossil fuels
energy source that is burned such as coal
what is one of the elements in the carbon cycle
organic compounds
what do plants do
photosynthesis
what produces carbon
animals
how do animals obtain carbon
they eat plants
why are fossil fuels bad
creates air pollution that harms our health and generates toxic emissions that drive climate change.
when was the carbon cycle created
between 1772 - 1790
are plants living
yes
is carbon dioxide harmful to humans
it is not a poisonous gas
do we need animals for the carbon cycle to work
yes, animals play a crucial part in the cycle because they breath out carbon for plants to take in
what do fossil fuels do
they burn and release carbon into the atmosphere
What is the carbon cycle
natures way of reusing carbon atoms
what do plants take in
sunlight, carbon
how does carbon affect the environment
By adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, people are supercharging the natural greenhouse effect, causing global temperature to rise
how do animals provide for the carbon cycle
they breath out carbon and waste products, and eat plants
what will happen if we keep using fossil fuels with no way to take in carbon
global temperatures rise
Who created the carbon cycle
Antoine Lavoisier
who eats plants
what are the 3 main sources of carbon dioxide
decomposition, ocean release and respiration
how do animals increase the amount of carbon in the air
they eat the plants which take in carbon, without them there will be an increase in the atmosphere
why are fossil fuels important, and are they dangerous
they release carbon for plants to take in to continue the cycle, even tho they are important they also harm the earth
