Carbon CyclePhotosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
The Carbon Cycle
• The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves though the planet in its different forms.• It exists in an ecosystem in two main forms:• Organic (plant/animal material, sugars, fats…)• Inorganic (carbon dioxide, limestone rock)
Plants and Animals
• Plants and animals rely on one another for survival.
• Can you think of a way plants rely on animals?• Can you think of a way animals rely on plants?
Plants and Photosynthesis
• Plants remove carbon from the atmosphere• Carbon in the atmosphere exists as carbon dioxide (CO2)• Plants take in carbon dioxide and use it to create glucose and oxygen
Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy glucose + oxygenFrom the sun
Animals and Cellular Respiration
• Animals release carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2
• They do so by the process of cellular respiration
Glucose + oxygen energy + carbon dioxide + water
What do you notice?
water + carbon Dioxide + energy glucose + oxygen
Glucose + oxygen energy + carbon dioxide + water
Animals release CO2 into the atmospherethrough Cellularrespiration
Plants absorb the CO2
from the atmosphere through Photosynthesis
Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis
Animals absorb oxygenfrom the atmosphere through cellular respiration
