Midterm Assignment

 Terrestrial Carbon Cycle

 Describe in 3 paragraphs (no more or less) the terrestrial carbon cycle


Everything and everyone is connected in the universe as a part of continuous carbon cycle. The living and non living things interacts every single second; however, the being living cannot survive without having the support somehow of the non- livings. The Carbon is the most widely element on the planet earth. The human body is made of carbon, trees, mineral, and organic matter. Carbone dioxide is a naturally occurring at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth’s atmosphere in the state of gas.

During the photosynthesis process, they plant release dioxide and transform the water (H20) with carbon dioxide under the action of sunlight to form dioxide and sugar. The plant get a large amount of carbon dioxide from living things when the breath out. The herbivores consume the plant and when they died their bodies get eaten by the decomposers. On the other hand, when the decomposers get died they become carbon in the soil and later, the carbon pull out from the soil through its pores.

The carbon dioxide that have been absorbed by the trees and the animals return to nature in the same form. Despite all, tertiary consumers get a significant amount of carbon by eaten the secondary consumers. The same process that I describe in the second paragraph happen with the carbon till it returns into the atmosphere in the state of gas. Human being breath out the carbon dioxide in order to get the dioxide (air) which is made of by trees as well created naturally in the atmosphere. In fact, I consider carbon almost like law of energy which means nothing is lose,nothing create but all is transferred in another state.
