Question

Which processes are part of the fast carbon cycle?

Answer 1

The key processes in the fast carbon cycle include: Photosynthesis: the absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere (terrestrial plants) and from oceans (marine plants) to produce organic carbon structures. Respiration: the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, soil and oceans by animals as they exhale.

Answer 2

Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producer to make carbohydrates and photosynthesis. consumers feed on the plants passing the carbon compounds along the food chain.
