This is my carbon cycle Summary: Carbon is a very important element that is in the periodic table. Carbon is in a lot of places that you may be familiar with. The carbon cycle is one of the most important biogeochemical cycles as it is part of the soil , su rface water, marine life, the atmosphere, deep ocean, land plants, and living things. Without carbon, there would be no life. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to various plants through a process called photosynthesis . Carbon dioxide is one of the items that plants need to create sugars, or glucose through a process called photosynthesis. Carbon is a very important material for photosynthesis, which helps provide food for all living things on Earth. In the food chain, plants are the producers. When animals eat plants to survive, the carbon travels from the plant to the animal. Animals that eat other animals (secondary producers) also get this carbon when they eat other animals. O rganic carbon is carbon that is found i

It is part of the soil, surface water, marine life, the atmosphere, deep ocean, land plants, and living things. Carbon is in a lot of places that you may be familiar with. In fact, it moves through the carbon cycle. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to various plants through a process called photosynthesis. Carbon and Oxygen create the molecule carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is one of the items that plants need to create sugars, or glucose through a process called photosynthesis. Next, carbon travels from plants to animals through the food chains. In the food chain, plants are the producers. When herbivores eat plants to survive, the carbon moves from the plant to the animal. Secondary producers also get this carbon when they eat other animals. When carbon is found in something living (biotic), it is called organic carbon. When plants

The world is full of many ecosystems including forests, deserts, and more. Ecosystems are the living and non-living things that make up an environment. There are many different ways that living and non-living factors in an ecosystem interact and work together. The living factors of an ecosystem are called biotic. "Bio" means life. Some examples of biotic features include animals, plants, humans, bacteria, and more. Close your eyes and imagine that you are in a rainforest. Some examples of biotic features may include Jaguars, Orchids, Sloths, Trees, and more. The non-living factors of an ecosystem are called abiotic. "A" means without, and "bio" means life. Together, that means "without life." Some examples of abiotic features include weather, temper
