Question

In the carbon cycle, how is carbon stored in organisms and then exchanged with the environment?

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis, Decomposition, Respiration and Combustion.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms. In the natural carbon cycle, there are two main processes which occur: photosynthesis and metabolism. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. During metabolism oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is a product.
