The carbon for the Calvin Cycle comes from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This CO2 is converted into sugars through a series of enzymatic reactions during the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis.
The process by which carbon moves from inorganic to organic compounds and back is called the carbon cycle. Carbon is taken up by plants through photosynthesis and passed through the food chain as organisms consume one another. Carbon is released back into the atmosphere through processes like respiration and decomposition.
No, removing animals from the carbon cycle would not stop the cycle. While animals play a role in the carbon cycle through respiration and decomposition, the cycle would continue through other processes such as photosynthesis by plants, decomposition by microorganisms, and geological processes.
The biogeochemical cycle that involves the cycling of carbon through Earth's ecosystems is known as the carbon cycle. This cycle involves the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms through processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. Carbon plays a crucial role in the regulation of Earth's climate and is a key component of all living organisms.
Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all processes, except for the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which disrupts the natural carbon cycle by increasing the concentration of CO2, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.
