BioChemical Cycle of Carbon
By Savannah Witham
What is the Biochemical Carbon Cycle?
Chemical Reactions
Things that in some way need, provide, or use Carbon:
- Giving birth
- Breathing (We exhale Carbon Dioxide after having oxygen cycle through our systems)
- Dying (release of all gases in your body)
- Lighting a match
- Forest Fires
- Photosythesis (Plants need CO2 in order to create the oxygen we need to live)
- Fossil Fuels (gasoline, Petroleum, Kerosene)
CO2+H2O+energy <=> CH2O + O2
Photosythesis
Volcanic Eruptions and Volcanic Vents
Gasoline
Reservoirs
Inorganic Carbon Reservoirs include things like fossil fuels and sediments throughout canyons and such places.
