Lesson Plan Carbon Cycle Poster

carbon cycle  Plants and animals take in and release carbon dioxide through respiration Human activities involving fossil fuels, including manufacturing, The Carbon Cycle Over % of all of the earth's carbon is stored and fixed in the earth's crust – the lithosphere This is around 60

On the short time scale, the carbon cycle is most visible in life Plants on land and in the ocean convert carbon dioxide to biomass Role of Organisms in Carbon Cycle · Plants absorb carbon from the environment in photosynthesis and return it in respiration · Animals obtain their carbon by

​ carbon cycle · Photosynthesis – removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fixes it in producers as organic compounds · Respiration Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in balancing the carbon cycle by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere This process is known as carbon
