I WONDER - Where Does Carbon Come From? Me Pregunto - De Dónde Proviene El Carbono?

The video explains how carbon is released into the atmosphere through three main processes: combustion, respiration, and decomposition. Combustion involves burning fuels, trees, or plants, releasing carbon back into the air. Respiration is a process performed by all living things, where oxygen is inhaled and transformed into carbon dioxide, which is then expelled. Decomposition occurs when plants and animals die, returning carbon to the earth or releasing it into the air.

What happens to carbon during the combustion process?

• It is stored in the soil

• It is released back into the air

• It is converted into oxygen

• It is absorbed by plants

Which of the following is a result of respiration in living organisms?

• Storage of carbon in the body

• Absorption of carbon from the air

• Release of carbon dioxide into the air

• Conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen

What occurs when plants and animals decompose?
