Carbon Dioxide/Oxygen Cycle
Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cyclea cycle that shows the continuous transfer of carbon dioxide
and oxygen between the atmosphere and organisms
Carbon CycleThe movement of carbon on Earth involving
respiration and photosynthesis
Photosynthesisthe process by which plants use the sun’s energy to
reproduce sugar, water and oxygen
Oxygenproduced by plants during photosynthesis used by
animals during respiration
Carbon Dioxideproduced by animals during respiration, and used by
plants during photosynthesis
Respirationthe process in which an organism combines oxygen and digested
food to produce carbon dioxide and water, while releasing energy
Green Plantstake in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen
Chlorophyllthe substance that gives plants their green color
Animalsbreath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide
Decompositionthe process in which an organism gets energy by
feeding on dead materials
