Carbon Cycle Notes 6.1

I. What is Carbon?  An element  The basis of life on Earth  Present in rocks, oceans and the atmosphere II. Carbon Cycle  The continuous process by which carbon is exchanged between organisms and the environment.

III. Plants Use CO 2  Plants pull carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere and use it to make sugars. (photosynthesis)  Plants use some of the sugars (structure/respiration) IV. Animals Eat Plants  When organisms eat plants, they take in carbon  They use it as food to provide them with energy  Some of it becomes part of their own bodies.

V.Decomposition of Plants & Animals  When plants and animals die, most of their bodies decompose and carbon atoms return to the atmosphere  Some don’t decompose fully and end up in deposits underground as fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas)

VI.Carbon Stored in the Ground  Carbon is stored in fossils and/or fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas)  In nature, carbon found in rocks and underground deposits is released VERY slowly back into the atmosphere.

VII. Carbon in Oceans  Carbon is stored in the ocean as CO 2  Carbon is found in the form of calcium carbonate in the shells of aquatic species.  When animals die, carbon substances are deposited at the bottom of oceans.  Oceans contain Earth’s largest reservoir of carbon!

VIII. Human Impact  The release of carbon from fossil fuels is very slow in nature.  Humans DRASTICALLY speed up this process by burning fossil fuels.  Heating up the oceans reduces their ability to store carbon.  Fewer plants means less CO 2 removed from atmosphere.
