SOME BACTERIA
How does carbon get back into the atmosphere from the food we eat?
CELLULAR RESPRATION
Where do secondary consumers get their carbon from? PRIMARY
CONSUMERS
Where does an animals or plants carbon go when it dies? GROUND
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere stay the same?
PHOTSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION SHOULD BALANCE EACH OTHER
OUT.
15. How is extra carbon getting into the atmosphere today? BURNING FOSSIL
FUELS
16. List 3 ways that we could reduce the extra carbon that is getting into the
atmosphere.
1. PLANT TREES
2. USE LESS FOSSIL FUELS
3. REMOVE CO2 FROM EMISSIONS 4. CONSERVE ELECTRICITY
5. ELECTRIC CARS
