Interconversion of energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils in the form of cycle.
  • When we take in oxygen we release carbon dioxide gas
    (CO_(2))into the atmosphere.
  • Animals and plants give carbon dioxide gas through the process called respiration and transpiration.
  • From fossil fuels carbon moves in the atmosphere.
  • The fuels like wood or coal when burned releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
  • The Matter is conserved in the carbon cycle as carbon absorbs energy and then it releases the same amount of energy.
  • Carbon changes from one form to another, but the total amount of carbon remains the same.
