In the process of photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and water (H2O) from the soil. Using the energy of sunlight, plants build molecules of glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). 1. How do plants on Earth affect the amount of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere? (Use the word increase or decrease). _______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 2. How do animals affect the amount of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere? (Use the word increase or decrease). ______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Gizmo Warm-up The Carbon Cycle Gizmo allows you to follow the many paths an atom of carbon can take through Earth’s systems. To begin, notice the black carbon atom in the Atmospheric CO2 area, highlighted in yellow. The glowing blue areas [Show More]
