Mini Project #2

Complete the missing link: Insert Carbon Cycle diagram here.























The Carbon Cycle plays a very important part in our ecosystem in that it impact global warming and the greenhouse effect. This is due to the movement of carbon in many forms between the oceans, geosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. The absense of carbon will cause an imbalance in the cycle and also affects the environment and all living things including plants and animals. The presense of carbon in the cycle causes a balance whereby the environment and all living things exchange this precious commodity in order for their existence. One example of this is photosynthesis whereby plants are able to manufacture thier food from the exchange of carbon between plants and animals.
