• What does the carbon cycle do?


  Recycles carbon between living organisms and the environment.
• Main processes of Carbon Cycle:

  > Photosynthesis

  > Combustion

  > Respiration
• Photosynthesis

  Carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen
• Respiration

  glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
• Combustion


  Fossil fuel + oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + water
• Trees and plants contain a lot of carbon dioxide so burning it will release it back into the environment
