Question

Compare and contrast the ways carbon and water cycle through the biosphere.

I know how they are similar but i dont know how they contrast

Answer 1

i got this off yahoo answers, carbon cycle-> carbon dioxide is given out by cellular respiration and animal breathing :D--> this carbon dioxide is taken by plants and produced into oxygen :D--> eventually both the animal and the plant dies and they turn back into carbon :D---> over millions of years this carbon turns into fossil fuels and we extract it and use it for our energy and powerplants :D---> these powerplants release carbon dioxide into air and taken up by plants and yeaa..

water cycle--> water evaporates from the oceans and lakes--> water turns into clouds as it goes higher up the atmosphere cooling the water molecules making them condense and goes down as rain---> some rain percolates(goes through) the soil and stays there some percolate back into the lakes and oceans cycle starts over!!!! on a side note:the ones in the soil are taken up by plants and are put n the air through their tree breathing or transpiration(where water molecules are put in the air by plants)

Answer 2
