Part1: Compare the relative concentrations (amount of GtC) of at least six (6) components of the carbon cycle (e. g. The _ has less GtC carbon than the _ .)

Part 2: Explain how the total amount of matter is conserved during the carbon cycle.

hint-the earth is a closed system

Explanation:

PART 2 : The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.  The carbon cycle is an example of the Law because the same carbon atoms are being recycled through the carbon cycle.

Because elements are neither created nor destroyed under normal circumstances, individual atoms that compose living organisms have long histories as they cycle through the biosphere. In this depiction, a carbon atom moves from coal buried beneath the Earth's surface to a power plant and into the atmosphere. It eventually dissolves in water and is taken up by an algal cell, where it is then consumed by a copepod.

this is more of a statement than a question. is there answers to go along with this, or is it opinion based?
