Carbon Cycle

Front

What is respiration?

Back

Respiration is the process by which animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide to make energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What do plants make using carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants make food using carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

Where can carbon be found?

Back

Carbon can be found in the atmosphere, soil, and fossil fuels.

Front

What happens when humans burn fossil fuels?

Back

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

Why is the carbon cycle important?

Back

The carbon cycle is important because it helps regulate the Earth's climate and supports life by recycling carbon.

Front

What role do plants play in the carbon cycle?

Back

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and release oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

How do animals contribute to the carbon cycle?

Back

Animals contribute to the carbon cycle by breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide during respiration.
