Answer 11

thats cool :)

Answer 12

Yeah it is ! Okai let's get back to the topic !

Answer 13

yep sorry

Answer 14

I'll just describe the whole carbon cycle take the points that u need

Answer 15

The main reservoir for Carbon is the atmosphere. Plants obtain carbon in the form of Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They synthesize Carbohydrates , proteins , lipids and nucleic acids using this CO2
Due to the feeding relationships these organic compounds enter the system of animals.
During respiration CO2 is releases to the environment.

From the dead bodes of animals and plants and excretory products of animals the organic ,material is releases to the soil
The micro organisms in the soil decompose these organic material and release CO2 to the atmosphere.

Answer 16

Under special circumstances , decomposition will not occur and the organic material will be converted to peat, coal and petroleum.

Burning these fossil fuels in factories and automobiles will release CO2 to the atmosphere.

The cycling of carbon occurs in the aquatic environment as well. CO2 dissolved in the water is used by the aquatic plants and phytoplanktons for photosynthesis. Organic compound are formed and they are transferred through food chains in to aquatic animals . When all these organisms die the bodies are decomposed and CO2 is released to the water.

Answer 17

In the ocean CO2 dissolves in the water forming a mild acid, This combines with calcium ions in the sea water to form CaCO3( Calcium bi carbonate ) which deposits as sediments. Coral polyps and molluscs precipitate carbon as CaCO3 when they form the exo skeleton

They also form sediments after the death of those organisms . During volcanic eruptions CO2 is released from these CaCO3 deposits in to the environment !

Answer 18

thank u so much :)

Answer 19

Importance of plants in carbon cycle
Plants play a major role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and photosynthesis.

So that's why deforestation leads to a reduction of CO2 being absorbed for photosynthesis. Thus the balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere is changes too.

Answer 20

thank u this is very helpful

Answer 21

Importance of plants in water cycle
Plants absorbs water from the surface and the deeper layer of the soil. A part of it is returned to the atmosphere in the form of vapor during transpiration .

Answer 22

I guess that's it ! Phew ! It took me tym nah ?

Answer 23

so sorry for taking you time :( it was very helpful tho

Answer 24

No it doesn't matter abwt my tym if u got it done by ur time limit ! anything else that u need help with ?
