What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle
Respuestas a la pregunta
Tap water can slowly dissolve the carbon in sedimentary rock. Most of this carbon ends up in the ocean. The deep ocean can store carbon for millennia or more. Sedimentary rock and the ocean are large storage wells of stored carbon. Carbon is also stored for different periods of time in the atmosphere, in living organisms and in fossil fuel tanks
Carbon is rapidly transferred between organisms and the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, carbon exists mainly as carbon dioxide (CO 2). Carbon dioxide moves through the atmosphere through several different processes, including those listed below.
Living beings release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration. .
Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses it to produce organic compounds.
Carbon dioxide is released when dead bodies and other organic materials decompose.
Burning organic material, such as fossil fuels, releases carbon dioxide.
Carbon circulates much more slowly through geological processes such as sedimentation. Carbon can be stored in sedimentary rocks for millions of years.
When volcanoes erupt they release carbon dioxide that is stored in the mantle.
Carbon dioxide is released when the limestone is heated during the production of cement.
Ocean water releases dissolved carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when the temperature of the water increases.
Carbon dioxide is also removed when the ocean water cools and dissolves more carbon dioxide from the air.
