Humans are both a part of the carbon cycle and we rely on the carbon cycle.
Explanation:
Humans are both a part of the carbon cycle and we rely on the carbon cycle.
All living things are made up of carbon. Humans are made up of carbon as are the animals and plants we consume.
Humans interact with the carbon cycle on many levels. When we exhale, we exhale carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. When we die and our bodies decompose, carbon is released back into the soil. The burning of fossil fuels for electricity and transportation moves carbon through the carbon cycle.
