Carbon Cycle - Baylee Turner

Visual :

Information:

• The carbon can be in forms of sugar or a carbon dioxide gas
• On earth we only have a certain amount of carbon available
• All living things are made of carbon 
• The carbon cycle has affected the earth contributing to major climate changes and the evolution of life
• It is the fastest recycling processes
• Carbon is extracted from the atmosphere by plants through photosynthesis 
• Animals eat the plants and the carbon is transferred, when that plant or animal dies the carbon is returned to the atmosphere
• Some animals or plants while decomposing get trapped and the carbon doesn't go back into the atmosphere instead it is locked up deep within the earth. 

Reflection: 

Even though we have not talked about the carbon cycle in class I believe on my own I learned a lot of good, basic information. Before actually researching the carbon cycle I knew it existed just never learned exactly what it was or its purpose. After doing some research I learned that the carbon cycle related a lot to photosynthesis and respiration, they all seem to work together. Of course we need air to breathe but it surprised me how much carbon in the atmosphere was actually used and needed. I think the carbon cycle is very interesting and that if I got deep into I would see how much more complex and important it is.
