Design carbon cycle and oxygen cycle. Predict the effects to the nutrient cycle if
the carbon and oxygen cycle are effected
Diagram of the carbon cycle and oxygen

Prediction of the effects to the nutrient
cycle if the carbon and oxygen cycles were
effected
What would happen if the carbon cycle and oxygen cycle were disrupted?
Oxygen: If there was a disruption in the oxygen cycle, the cycle of life would be
disrupted because the cycle of respiration will not be able to take place
Carbon: If there were to be a disruption in the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide will be
accumulated in the atmosphere and it will cause global warming and ocean
acidification that can disrupt marine life
The role of living things in the carbon cycle and oxygen cycle
1. Plants and animals carry out respiration which uses oxygen and releases carbon
dioxide.
2. The decay of dead plants and animals by bacteria and fungi in the soil releases
carbon dioxide.
3. Green plants maintain the content of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air through
photosynthesis which absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
