LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon atoms are then released as carbon dioxide when organisms respire. The formation of fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks contributes to the carbon cycle for very long periods. The carbon cycle is associated with the availability of other compounds as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans have a huge effect on the carbon cycle when we burn wood, fossil fuels (such as oil, coal, and natural gas), and other forms of carbon. This action releases the stored carbon into the atmosphere, where it becomes a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorb and release heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel-glucose and other sugars-for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is stored in what are known as reservoirs, and it moves between these reservoirs through a variety of processes, including photosynthesis, burning fossil fuels, and simply releasing breath from the lungs. The movement of carbon from reservoir to reservoir is known as the carbon cycle.
