Explain how the carbon cycle is related to energy flow in ecosystems. SIMPLE EXPLANATION IF POSSIBLE.

In a Kansas wheat field, the insolation energy is 5,750,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the wheat is 0.038 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 22 percent. One gram of wheat is equivalent to 850 calories.   Calculate the net primary productivity of the wheat.             Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the wheat.

Explain how carbon is cycled through an ecosystem.

ycles The diagram below illustrates the flow of carbon via several processes in the carbon cycle. Carbon Cycle 4 photosynthesis/ 0 O organic carbon plant respiration 2 of 10 Answered animal respiration In what way or ways do producers play a role in the carbon cycle? decomposition of organic waste They release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere during respiration. They decompose and create fossil fuels after death. They use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. They supply the light energy that makes photosynthesis possible.
