Day in the Life of a Carbon/Nitrogen Cycle by Hannah Tran

once i was a little carbon atom in the big athmosphere it was very roudy and t hings were moving all the time but one faithful day i ws able to find my golden ticket a plant! but before i could co plete my life goal of resperation a wild scary life threatening hamster ate me. inside the hamster it was all nasty & moist but i made my way out through resperation and going back to the hustle and bustle of the big bad athmosphere

I start off being breathed out by a dog. Then I was taken in by a plant for photosynthesis. After, I am converted into glucose to provide energy for the plant.

I was first emitted by a human. Then I was just floating in the air until a plant absorbed me through its leaves. I was int he leaves for a while when it then turned me into glucose for the plant.

As a carbon atom, I started as part of a carbon dioxide atom in the atmosphere. Then, I was captured by a plant, and used for photosynthesis. In the process, I was converted into glucose. Then, I was turned back into carbon dioxide in celluar respiration, and kept within the plant to do it again.

A plant takes me from the atmosphere and converts me into glucose and ATP. A rabbit comes by and takes a small bite of the plant, taking me with them. The rabbit hops around and the glucose (with me) goes down the digestive tract and I come out the other end. Now I decompose and release into the atmosphere.

I was chilling in the air when BOOM a plant ate me. I was scared until the human ate the plant in a salad. Once I was in him he released me through his breathing and I returned into the air.

From the soil, I get caught in a flood. I am then converted into nitrates by algae and taken up by an aquatic plant. I am then eaten by an herbivore which proceeds to die and decompose, bringing me back to the soil.

I cannot submit an image right now so I shall hand type my story:

At 6am, I’m immediately cut off from my blade of grass by a load and huge metal monster and I decompose into the soil. Then, at 12pm, I am released into the atmosphere by Mr. John the bacteria through denitifiacation. Then I get taken in by Debbie the algae but then I get kicked out into the water cycle because I ate all her cake (It was quite yummy). Then I rain down with my brothers and get sucked into the soil, at this time, it’s 8pm. Then, the roots of Auntie Mary, the great oak of Kentucky sucks me up. Here I am now, working as her DNA for the rest of my miserable life. Although I had a good run, now I shall just work and work and work and….

My name is Carbon and I start in the atmosphere. Then I get absorbed by plants to do photosynthesis. After a while riding the waves of photosynthesis I suddenly get eaten by a MASSIVE SCARY cow. Best part of my day since it’s actually warm in their mouth. Then I go through the tides of cellular respiration. To end the night off I get released back into the atmosphere and that is the day in the life of a Carbon atom.

Hello my name is carbon but you can call me CO2 because right now I am carbon and am in the air. Ok now I. Gonna go to a plant. Ahhh I’m gettign breathed !, And the plant, Ned’s me to do photo synthesis. The plant convert me into food for itself. I now get eaten. ahh! And I am inside an animal now. And that’s my day!

You enter into the soil and undergo a process in which you turn into something else. You become nutrients for the roots of the plants to gain energy. Next you get eaten by a herbivore which energy passes down. Finally in your day you die off and decompose into the soil.

I (the air) gets taken by animals and then comes out as carbon. After, the carbon gets absorbed by the plants to then be eaten by a herbivore. Then the herbivore does cellular respiration on the plants.

A human breathes me out, causing me to float in the air. Through the stomata of a small plant, I enter and get changed to an oxygen atom. Then, through cellular respiration, a rabbit breathed me in, changing me back to a carbon atom again, floating in the air. -Rachel B

I was in the air until a plant absorbed me. Then, an animal ate the plant that absorbed me and since I was part of the plant, I contributed to its carbohydrates of the plant. Now, the plant had carbohydrates inside of it for consuming the plant. When the animal breathes out, I am released due to cellular respiration.

I had just been exhaled from the mouth of a gorilla and began to float around. Soon enough, I was right at the stoma getting sucked into a tomato plant. I was forced through the process of photosynthesis and turned into glucose along with my oxygen and hydrogen friends. Soon enough, the plant I was part of was consumed by a donkey and released back into the air through cellular respiration.

I am in the atmosphere and with nitrogen fixation, I go from the atmosphere to inside a bacteria. I am then eaten by the roots of a plant and travel to be a part of its leaf. I am washed away in a flood where I decompose in a lake. I then overflow from the lake with another flood and soak into a fields soil. I am released by bacteria into the atmosphere through denitrification

I am released into the atmosphere from a factory. I float through the air until I am absorbed into the stoma of a plant. From there, I am made into glucose. An animal eats the plant I am in, and I am eventually breathed out in the form of carbon dioxide.

2025-04-02 15:39:49 UTC

I woke up in the middle of the night; turns out I got excreted as waste by a cow. I end up in the soil but a flood moves me into a river. I find myself in a fish. But a shark eats the fish, but the shark ends up dying. Welp looks like im back up again.

ixf3384 — 2025-04-02 15:40:27 UTC

I am excreted into the soil as waste by and animal. I then go through nitrogen fixation in bacteria and I’m taken up by plants. Finally I am once again consumed by a herbivore.

Heya! I’m Carbon, but most people call me CO2. I had the coolest day today! First, I was taken in by a plant and used for its photosynthesis. Then, the plant got eaten by a consumer! I was chilling in the animal’s system until it breathed me out back into the air.

2025-04-02 15:41:08 UTC

Starting in the river, I move through the water, looking at all of the fish around me. Afterwards, a nearby bear drinks from the river, swallowing me as well. As the bear starts to go back home, I get digested and excreted near a tree. The tree absorbs it over time and becomes part of the plants photosynthesis cycle. - Yohan

I was in the air until a plant consumed me. Then, an animal ate the plant that absorbed me and since I was part of the plants carbohydrates, the animal now had carbohydrates in its system. Now, when the animal breathes out, it releases me due to cellular respiration -Treya N.

I am a nitrogen in the atmosphere. Some lightning hit me and through nitrogen fixation I became a NO3. Then some denitrifying bacteria came and took me back home to the atmosphere. Then I used the nitrogen fixing bacteria to go into the soil. -Reyansh

I start in the atmosphere. From there, a plant converts me into energy that is eaten by an animal. Through excretion, I am released into the soil. From here, I am transported back into the atmosphere.
