Explain the steps of the Carbon Cycle starts in plants. |
|
Answer» The Carbon Cycle starts in plants as : Step I. Plants use CO2 in the atmosphere, convert it into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. Plants and animals break these carbohydrates for energy and release CO2 through respiration. Step II. When the plants and animals die, fungi and bacteria decompose the dead remains. This releases the carbon in the remains as carbon dioxide. Step III. Some of the dead plants and animals which get buried under the earth under certain temperature and pressure get transformed into fossil fuels like coal and petroleum. On burning these fuels, CO2 is released into the atmosphere. |
