carbon cycle - Coggle Diagram
carbon cycle
chemicals involved
HCO3
When CO2 disolves with water it forms this molecule, and later this become a organic molecule
-
CO2
is generated by the living things, the burning of the fossil fuels
-
-
celular respiration
Is the process by which the animals and us combine oxygen with food molecules, taking the energy of this and passing it to life-sustaining activities, as a result and waste we make carbon dioxide and water
burning of fuels
This is the way humans have caused nature too much trouble. This process caused the carbon cycle to become unbalanced
photosyntesis
Is the process by which the marine and the land plants generated their own energy, during the process the light energy, which is also required in this process, transfers the electrons from water to carbon dioxide, this produces carbohydrates. This change cause that the water loses electrons and that the CO2 receives electrons, giving as a result oxygen and carbohydrates.
plant respiration
This is the process that happens in plant respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 32 ATP
this is considered as the opposite of photosynthesis, because it needs oxigen, and it realises cardon dioxide
