The Carbon Cycle Poppy Matless Carbon is present in all living organisms. When organisms die‚ the carbon is recycled for future generations. 1. Carbon is released as CO2 via respiration and combustion 2. CO2 is absorbed by producers (grass‚ plants etc) 3. Animals feed off of the plant‚ passing on carbon throughout the food chain‚ losing some carbon as CO2 respiration. 4. When the animal dies‚ it is eaten by decomposers‚ and the carbon returns to the atmosphere 5. If decomposition

Topic 9 - The Carbon Cycle Aspects of the carbon cycle are similar to the hydrologic cycle because both are good examples of “Interactions between the systems". Textbook – topic not covered in text. http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/ The Carbon Cycle Neglecting the small amount of carbon (C) added to Earth by meteorite impacts‚ there is a fixed amount of carbon on Earth (~800‚000 billion tonnes). All living things are made of carbon but carbon is also a part of the ocean‚ air‚ and

2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow‚ Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:

and supplier of Thiourea dioxide and pulp bleaching agent FAS in the world. We can produce 50000MT Thiourea Dioxide(Formamidine sulfinic acid) and bleaching agent FAS per year. Thiourea Dioxide (TDO or TUD) is also named as Formamidine Sulfinic Acid. Its appearance is white crystal powder. Thiourea Dioxide is a stable compound with no strong reducing and oxidizing ability‚ and its dissolvability is 26.7g/l (20 oC)‚while its PH is 5.0 in saturated solution. Thiourea Dioxide (TDO) appears terrific

The carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon among three reservoirs or storage places: the land‚ the oceans‚ and the atmosphere The atmosphere has the least amount of carbon‚ followed by the land with it plants and animals‚ also

Human activities that may affect water ecosystems such as oceans FISHING Reducing the fish communities in rivers and oceans‚ destructive fishing techniques can also cause water pollution and damage to coral and other aquatic life. Destructive fishing techniques involve the use of dynamite or cyanide; trawling in coral-rich ecosystems; bottom trawls that are dragged along the ocean floor‚ also disrupt and damage critical habitats.

The carbon cycle shows how carbon is recycled -Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants in order to carry out photosynthesis and make food. -The carbon from the carbon dioxide is used to make carbohydrates‚ fats and proteins that make up the plant body. For example the cell wall of plants is made from cellulose - a carbohydrate. -Some of this carbon is returned into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when the plant respires. When these plants are eaten by other animals this carbon becomes part
