1. Carbon Cycle Alba & Connor Pd. 7 09/21/12

2.  Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it. Photosynthesis & Respiration

3.  Burning of fossil fuels (Transportation)  Power generation (Heating)  Volcanic eruptions  Productions of cement (Limestone)  Through the decay of plant and animal matter 5 Ways carbon is released in the Atmosphere

4.  The amount of carbon dioxide there is in the atmosphere.0387 %. Percent of the atmosphere is CO2 Fact: With out green house gases like Carbon Dioxide trapping heat into the atmosphere, the earth would be frozen.

5.  natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period  Ocean - Largest active carbon sink  Forests  Regenerative agriculture  Soils - Short to long term carbon storage 4 Carbon Sinks

6.  Photosythesis - Plants store and use as food and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen  Consumption - Animals consume the plants  Respiration - Released back into the air  Decomposition - over time becomes fossil fuels (humans, by burning, transportation, ect.) Chemical Reactions Involved

7.  Short term organic - Plants and animals  Long term organic - Fossil Fuels  Long term inorganic - Limestone (Carbon reservoirs are implications of global warning) Inorganic and Organic Reservoirs

8.  Deforestation, clearing trees and plants that absorb CO2 by photosynthesis  Burning fossil fuels and wood add large amounts of CO2 Human impact
