describe how matter and energy can transfer between organisms and their physical environment describe the transfer of matter or energy between the components of the carbon cycle Big Ideas: Key Questions and Terms Notes What is the carbon cycle? Where are some places where carbon is found? What are the components of the land-based carbon cycle? What are the components of the water-based carbon cycle? Explain how fossil fuels are formed from living organisms on land and in sea. How does diffusion play a role in the carbon cycle? Give an example for each describing how energy and matter transfer between stages of the carbon cycle: Chemical energy: Mechanical energy: Thermal energy: Electrical energy:

1.  Energy flows and matter is transferred continuously from one organism to another and between organisms and their physical environments. Plants use the energy in light to make sugars out of carbon dioxide and water (photosynthesis). ... Animals get energy from oxidizing food, releasing some of its energy as heat. 2. The carbon cycle involves the circulation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere into plants and other living organisms; the transfer of carbon from these organisms into other temporary storage pools, living or nonliving, containing organic and inorganic carbon compounds; and the return of CO 2 to the atmosphere.  3. The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth. Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone. 4. Carbon is stored on our planet in the following major sinks (1) as organic molecules in living and dead organisms found in the biosphere; (2) as the gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; (3) as organic matter in soils; (4) in the lithosphere as fossil fuels and sedimentary rock deposits such as limestone, dolomite and ... 5. Carbon is stored within biomass, such as tropical and temperate forests. Carbon is transferred to the soil via leaf litter, roots and plant debris upon decomposition. Bacterial action in decomposition releases CO2 back to the atmosphere. 6.  Carbon gets incorporated into marine organisms as organic matter or structural calcium carbonate. When organisms die, their dead cells, shells and other parts sink into deep water. Decay releases carbon dioxide into this deep water.  7. FOSSIL FUELS FORM. After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore. 8.  In the carbon cycle, diffusion refers to the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the ocean. ... From this process of diffusion, carbon is able to enter other phases of the carbon cycle, such as plant respiration and the burning of fossil fuels. Chemical energy is transferred during photosynthesis.

Mechanical energy is transferred when when ruminant animals graze.

Thermal energy is transferred during the burning of refuse and during respiration.

Electrical energy is transferred from the atmosphere to the earth during thunderstorm.

Explanation:

Chemical energy is transferred when plants trap the energy from the sun and the carbon dioxide passing through the lenticels combine to form glucose.

Ruminant animals like cows eat the plants and go to settle quietly to regurgitate this is mechanical energy being observed.Thermal energy is transferred when refuse, wood, are burnt, likewise smoke from chimneys in factories emit heat energy. Chemical energy: When animals eat plant, they get the chemical energy in the plants stored as sugar.Mechanical energy: Carbon dioxide rising through the air gains mechanical energy (as well as gravitational potential energy).Thermal energy: The heating of fossil fuels releases the energy stored inside.Electrical energy: Burning fossil fuels creates electrical energy for us to use.
