STAR PRIVATE SCHOOL, SHARJAH

Subject: Biology
Year 9
Unit 1.3: The carbon cycle
Topic: Carbon and living organisms
Learning objective: To understand about the carbon cycle and its important in
real life.

Q1. Draw a food chain with one plant and three animals in it. (course book
page no. 20 )

Ans:
Q2. The arrows in your food chain represent energy passing from one
organism to the next. Do they also show how carbon atoms pass from one
organism to the next? Explain your answer (course book page no. 20)

Ans: Yes, the arrows in food chain also show how carbon atoms pass from one
organism to the next because carbon-containing nutrients also pass in the food
chain.
Student Challenge:
Q3. The human body contains atoms of many different elements. Carbon is
one of the most common elements. Name three different compounds in your
body that contain carbon atoms. (course book page no. 20)

Ans: Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are all compounds that contain carbon.

Home Learning:

Explore how do plants and animals affect carbon dioxide concentration in real
world.
