Question
how does carbon move through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem? place the processes in the cycle. ocean plants animals human use shells fossils fuels respiration geologic storage caco2 fixation photo - synthesis absorption combustion
Plants take in carbon - dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Animals and plants release carbon - dioxide back into the atmosphere through respiration. The ocean absorbs carbon - dioxide (absorption). Carbon can be stored in shells through CaCO₂ fixation. Fossils are formed over time through geologic storage. Fuels are burned through combustion for human use.
