Carbon cycle | Ecology | Bite-sized | GCSE | IGCSE Biology | Mr Science in 8K

Welcome to our GCSE Biology series where we unravel the mysteries of the carbon cycle! Carbon, an indispensable element present in DNA, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, is the cornerstone of life's molecular building blocks. In this enlightening video, we delve into the intricate pathways of the carbon cycle, elucidating how carbon traverses through ecosystems. Embark on a journey with us as we explore the various stages of the carbon cycle: Carbon in the Atmosphere: Initially bonded with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis: Witness how plants perform the remarkable feat of fixing carbon from the atmosphere into organic compounds, effectively removing carbon dioxide. Feeding and Assimilation: Learn how carbon atoms in organic compounds travel along the food chain as plants are consumed by animals. Decomposition: Meet the unsung heroes, bacteria, and fungi, as they break down dead plants, animals, and organic matter, releasing carbon into the atmosphere during respiration. Respiration: Understand how both plants and animals respire, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as glucose is metabolized. Fossilisation: Explore the fascinating process where under specific conditions, the remains of plants and animals undergo fossilization, giving rise to coal, oil, and gas, acting as long-term carbon reservoirs. Combustion: Witness the modern-day carbon release phenomenon as fossil fuels are burned in factories and vehicles, liberating carbon back into the atmosphere in a process known as combustion. With insightful explanations, engaging animations, and real-life examples, we demystify the carbon cycle, making it accessible and relevant for GCSE students and science enthusiasts alike. Don't miss out on this opportunity to deepen your understanding of one of nature's most vital processes. Like, comment, and subscribe to our channel for more captivating biology lessons.
