a diagram in the space below showing how
carbon cycles through an ecosystem.
Answer
Carbon cycles through an ecosystem through various processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and combustion. Here is a simplified diagram:
Atmospheric CO2 -> Plants (photosynthesis) -> Animals (consumption) -> Decomposers (decomposition) -> Soil and Water (carbon storage) -> Combustion (burning of fossil fuels) -> Atmospheric CO2
