Thursday 25 th March The Carbon Cycle Copy
Thursday 25 th March The Carbon Cycle Copy 5 keywords from the diagram and write what they mean.
Learning Objective • To describe and explain the carbon cycle. Targeting Assessment Objectives AO 1 Success Criteria • To identify some stages in the carbon cycle. • To describe how carbon is cycled through an ecosystem. • To describe how carbon is cycled as different molecules.
State 3 ways that carbon is released into the environment.
Carbon is a common non-metal element. It is found in group 4 of the periodic table. Carbon can bond with other elements to form different gases, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as other compounds such as the carbohydrates glucose, sucrose and amino acids. Diamond and graphite are examples of how the properties of carbon can be different, depending on how it is bonded in a macro structure. Diamond is a very hard substance, whereas graphite is soft. Both are composed entirely of carbon atoms only.

Describe how carbon atoms from the atmosphere are cycled through a food chain. [6] • • • Carbon is in the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide/CO 2. Plants absorb carbon dioxide/CO 2. To carry out photosynthesis. Carbon is used to make compounds e. g. glucose. Plants are consumed by animals, transferring the carbon compounds into the animal’s body. • Animals release carbon as carbon dioxide/CO 2 during respiration. • Dead animals are decomposed and the carbon is released from the micro-organisms as carbon dioxide/CO 2 during respiration.
