Name: ______________________________________________________ Period______________ The Cycling of Carbon: Reading Guide (p124-125) The Carbon Cycle Carbon is an essential component of the following molecules, which make up ALL organisms _______________________________ _________________________________ ___________________ What is the carbon cycle? _____________________________________________________________________________ Short-term Carbon Cycling: Plants remove _________________________ from the atmosphere and convert it into ___________________________ during the process of _______________________________________. When consumers _______________ producers, Carbon is transferred in the form of ____________________________. Consumers _________________________ food during ___________________________, releasing some of the carbon to the atmosphere as ____________________________. Organisms that make their own food during ________________________ also release __________________ to the atmosphere from respiration. Draw a diagram to represent the short-term process of carbon cycling: (See Above) Long-term Carbon Cycling: Carbon may be converted into ____________________________, which make up the ___________________________. They don’t decompose or ________________________ easily. Ove millions of years ______________________ produce ___________________________ rocks. This is one of the ______________________ carbon sinks on Earth. Some _______________________ are converted to ______________, ____________________, and other molecules that ______________________ energy. This Carbon is ________________________ into the soil or air after the organism ______________. When released underground, these deposits form ________________, __________________, and ____________________. These are known as _________________________________. How Humans Affect the Carbon Cycle: _______________________________________ RELEASES Carbon to the _________________________________ in the form of __________________. ______________________ or ___________________ also release CO2 to the atmosphere. Over __________ of the CO2 released stays in the _________________________. Over time, levels of CO2 in the atmosphere has _____________________________. Increased levels of CO2 may contribute to ____________________________, which is an overall __________________ In the _______________________ of the Earth. What happens to the CO2 not absorbed by the atmosphere? It is ABSORBED by ______________________________ and Draw (as best you can) figure 10: Diagramming the Carbon Cycle ___________________________
