Question

Why is the carbon cycle important?

Answer 1

Carbon is exchanged, or "cycled" among Earth's oceans, atmosphere, ecosystem, and geosphere. All living organisms are built of carbon compounds. It is the fundamental building block of life and animportant component of many chemical processes.

Answer 2

The way carbon moves through the environment is called carbon cycle. It is the most essential element of all life forms. Understanding about the carbon cycle will help us know about the factors that influence its formation and depletion.

•  Carbon dioxide is one of the important gas present in greenhouse gases which helps in temperature rising. It helps us to understand  climate and predict global warming.
• Carbon is the most important component of all living beings. There is almost 100 times more carbon present in living organisms as compared to that of earth. Burning the fossils will let us know the amount of carbon present in atmosphere and in earth.
• Carbon is associated with the availability of other element like oxygen present in atmosphere. During photosynthesis the oxygen is taken up and the carbon dioxide is utilized by plants.
