Plants
This is how animals get carbon from plants.
What is consuming the plants?
This is caused by fossil fuel pollution.
What is greenhouse gases?
Carbon travels through all these places.
What is the atmosphere, land, oceans, and living organisms.
The type of organisms are primarily responsible for breaking down dead plants and animals.
What are decomposers?
This is how burning plants affects the carbon cycle.
What is the releasing of mass amounts of carbon stored in the plants?
This is how animals release carbon into the atmosphere.
What is animals breathing out?
This is what happens to the carbon cycle when deforestation happens.
What is destroying carbon sinks and making more carbon in the air?
The main greenhouse gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
When an animal dies and decays, this is where the carbon stored in its body eventually ends up.
What is the atmosphere?
The process where plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into sugars.
What is photosynthesis?
The biggest cause of pollution.
What is fossil fuels.
This is the name of the process where carbon is released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels.
What is combustion?
This is how decomposition of dead plants and animals contribute to the carbon cycle.
What is a carbon sink?
When animals consume plants, this is where the carbon that was previously in the plant's tissues ends up.
What is in the animals tissues?
This is how increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contribute to climate change.
What is increasing the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere?
This is the role that the ocean plays in the carbon cycle.
What is taking carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the water?
This is how decay contributes to the cycling of carbon in an ecosystem.
What is breaking down organic matter and releasing carbon back into the environment?
This is how plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
What is the creating of sugars and glucose?
This is how much global temperatures have risen in the past 100 years.
What is 1.1 degree celsius?
The term for the process where organisms break down food molecules to release energy, returning carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What is cellular respiration?
