  1. The Microbial UniversePart II Patricia Archuleta Emily Heckman

  2. Question #1 • Microbes play a key role in the balance of recycling which 5 nutrients? Why might this be important for humans?

  3. The Carbon Cycle • Energy from the sunlight is absorbed by plants (photosynthesis) • Plants converts the sun’s rays to food energy, or carbon dioxide • Plants release oxygen • Animals breathe in oxygen • Animals exhale carbon dioxide • Plants absorb carbon dioxide

  4. Visualize the Carbon Cycle

  5. The Complete Carbon Cycle

  6. Question #2 • 50% of the oxygen we breathe comes from plants. Where does the rest of the oxygen come from?

  7. Important Connections • How is the carbon cycle vital to the food web in the ocean?
