Apes Carbon Cycle

Carbon cycle

• A mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon.
• The mostly solid, rocky part of the Earth; extends from the center of the core to the surface of the crust.
• The organic circulation of carbon from the atmosphere into organisms and back again
• where carbon is stored in living and non-living things. Includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere.

How does carbon move from plants to humans?

• Humans eat the plants

• Humans inhale the carbon plants release

• Plants release carbon into the atmosphere and humans breathe it in

• Humans do not get carbon from plants

How does carbon move from the atmosphere to the biosphere?

• Plants absorb it for photosynthesis

• Animals eat it from the ground

• It diffuses into the plants

• It is taken in through respiration

How does carbon move from the biosphere to the lithosphere?

• Plants and animals release carbon into soil as they decay

• Plants and animals release carbon into the air through respiration

• Plants and animals release carbon into soil by weathering and erosion

• Plants and animals release carbon into the ocean through diffusion

What role do apes play in the carbon cycle?

• Apes contribute to carbon emissions through respiration.

• Apes help in carbon sequestration by planting trees.

• Apes have no role in the carbon cycle.

• Apes increase atmospheric carbon by consuming plants.

How do apes indirectly affect the carbon cycle through their diet?

• By consuming plants, they release carbon back into the atmosphere.

• By eating fruits, they help in seed dispersal, promoting plant growth.

• By eating insects, they reduce carbon emissions.

• By consuming meat, they increase carbon storage.
