| Explain a plants role in the carbon and nitrogen cycle? |
|
Definition
Through cellular respiration and cellular break down Carbon Dioxide is released into the air which plants then convert into Oxygen. In assimilation plants take the nitrogen from the soil and incorporate the nitrogen into amino acids, nucleotides and other organic compounds which the consumers eat. |

- Around the Globe
- Store food, hibernate, move around to stay warm
- Reproduce nutrients into the soil.
- All animals have respect for eachother without greed.
