Carbon and Water Cycle

Watch this video that explains how water and carbon move through ecosystems. Remember the information you learned in the beginning of the semester

Biomolecules and their subunits are  made mostly of carbon 

• carbohydrates- sugars
• proteins- amino acids 
• lipids- fatty acids 
• nucleic acids - nucleotides 

The equation for cell respiration

• Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + ATP
  • Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2 yields CO2 + H2O + ATP

and now to add to that photosynthesis

• CO2 + H2O ---Light energy ---> Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2
  • CO2 + H2O ---Light energy yields Glucose (C6H12O6) + O2
