  3. Large stores of carbon are called carbon pools Carbon Pools

  4. Ocean= 36,000 gigatons Living + Dead organisms= 2,000 gigatons Atmosphere= 720 gigatons Fossil fuels= 4,000 gigatons Earth’s crust= over 75,000,000 gigatons! How Much Where?

  5. Carbon cycle

  6. Photosynthesis is the process through which plants make their own food (sugar) from sunlight Cellular respiration is the process through which food is broken down into water and carbon dioxide to get energy Remember!
