What Is The Carbon Cycle - Part 1| Environmental Chemistry | Chemistry | FuseSchool
Watch the first part of our Carbon Cycle videos, as part of environmental chemistry.
Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun.
As living things grow, they have to build up large polymer molecules from small molecules. Protein comes from joining amino acids together, cellulose and starch from joining sugars, and DNA from the bases, sugar and phosphate.
Plants can make these simple molecules from the carbon they capture from photosynthesis with added elements from the minerals that they get from the soil.
Animals have to get their molecules ‘ready made’ when they eat plants or other animals - but first they have to break the food polymers back into the small molecules through digestion. This all needs lots of energy.
Living things get their energy from respiration. Some of the monomers (often carbohydrates in humans) have to be re-joined with oxygen.
The carbon dioxide gets back into the food web through photosynthesis.

Let’s discover some more circle theorems so that we can solve all types of geometrical puzzles.
We discovered these 4 theorems in part 1:
Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference
The angle in a semi-circle is 90 degrees
Angles in the same segment are equal / Angles subtended by

If we don't have the vertical height of a triangle, then we can find the area of the triangle using 1/2absinC.
In this video we are going to discover where this formula comes from. The formula is based on area = 1/2 base X height and a
