natural gas and oil. 4.4.1.2 The element carbon is as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, dissolved in the water of the oceans, as calcium carbonate in sea shells, in fossil fuels and in limestone rocks, and as carbohydrates and other large molecules in all living organisms. Carbon cycles through the environment by processes that include photosynthesis, respiration, combustion of fuels and the industrial uses of limestone. Life depends on photosynthesis in producers such as green plants, which make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide in the air. Animals feed on plants, passing the carbon compounds along food chains. Animals and plants respire and release carbon dioxide back into the air. Describe the carbon cycle. Interpret and explain the processes in diagrams of the carbon cycle. Explain the importance of the carbon cycle to living things. Explain the role of microorganisms in cycling materials through an ecosystem. 1 Discussion questions Link the 7 processes of life to the carbon cycle What are detritivores? If the rate of decay slowed to almost zero what effect would this have on us and on the carbon cycle? What's my role in the carbon cycle?
