Exploring the Carbon Cycle Through Music

The video follows a carbon atom's journey through the carbon cycle, starting in the atmosphere as CO2. It is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, becoming part of the plant structure. The carbon atom can then move through the food chain, being consumed by animals. Through respiration and decomposition, carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Over time, carbon can become part of fossil fuels, which humans extract and burn, increasing atmospheric CO2 levels.

What process captures carbon dioxide from the air and incorporates it into a tree?

• Respiration

• Combustion

• Photosynthesis

• Decomposition

In which form is carbon found in the leaves of a tree after photosynthesis?

• Lipids

What happens to carbon when it is eaten by animals like deer or buffalo?

• It becomes part of the animal's body

• It is stored as fossil fuel

• It is immediately respired as CO2

• It is released as methane

During respiration, what is released back into the air?

• Methane
