How would I explain the carbon cycle to a 1st grade classroom?

Biology

Answer:

To a 1st Grader:  

Carbon is the magic element that is the basis of life on Earth. All living things contain carbon. Animals breathe it out, and plants breathe it in. Plants, people and animals depend on each other.

The carbon cycle is a process where carbon dioxide travels from the atmosphere into living organisms and the Earth, then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air along with water and photosynthesis from the sun and use it to make food.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth. Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone.  To a first grader is different because they wouldn't understand what half of these words mean lol.

Rasek [7]

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.

How do food webs show the flow of energy?
stepladder [879]
Food webs normally start at the bottom and work their way up. Like the plants will be at the bottom, and then each level shows the animals getting bigger while losing energy. You continually lose energy as you work your way up an ecosystem, so normally there are only three or four levels. I hope this helps!

Did the Florida Panther become endangered because of natural selection, genetic drift, or gene flow?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Explanation:

Genetic Drift are the changes in allele frequency of a population that result from RANDOM survival or reproduction of individuals with certain characteristics.  Survival or reproduction of those individuals in the face of some environmental change is a matter of LUCK or CHANCE, not because of their phenotype or genotype.

While in Natural selection, the environmental events that affect a population are likely random, but the survival or reproduction of the individuals depends on their phenotypes and genotypes.

Meanwhile, Gene flow is the movement of genes into or out of a population. Low gen flow can lead to low genetic diversity.

Low population which can cause low genetic diversity, poor habitat conditions and habitat loss, road deaths, and commercial development in panther range are constant threats to the Florida Panther's survival.

All these causes are related and therefore affects the Florida Panther.
