I WONDER - What Is The Carbon Cycle? Me Pregunto - Qué Es El Ciclo Del Carbono?

The video explains the carbon cycle, highlighting the exchange of carbon among organic and inorganic elements in the atmosphere. It describes the two main stages of the carbon cycle: removing carbon from the atmosphere and reintroducing it. The formation of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is discussed, along with its absorption by plants during photosynthesis. The transfer of carbon to animals through the food chain and its release back into the atmosphere through exhalation and decomposition is also covered.

What are the two main stages of the carbon cycle?

• Combining carbon with nitrogen and releasing it

• Taking carbon out of the atmosphere and reintroducing it

• Storing carbon in plants and animals permanently

• Absorbing carbon into the soil and releasing it into the ocean

How is carbon dioxide formed?

• By the combination of carbon and oxygen

• By the combination of carbon and nitrogen

• By the combination of carbon and hydrogen

• By the combination of carbon and sulfur

What process do plants use to absorb carbon dioxide?

• Respiration

• Fermentation

• Photosynthesis

• Transpiration

What happens to carbon when animals exhale?

• It is absorbed by the soil

• It is stored in the animal's body

• It is released into the atmosphere

• It is converted into fossil fuels

What can happen to carbon after animals decompose?

• It can become part of fossil fuels or return to the atmosphere

• It can be permanently stored in the soil

• It can be absorbed by water bodies

• It can be converted into oxygen
