Statutes of limitations are enacted by the legislature, which may either extend or reduce the time limits, subject to certain restrictions. A court cannot extend the time period unless the statute provides such authority.
The carbon cycle describes the storage and exchange of carbon between the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. NASA. The carbon cycle describes the storage and exchange of carbon between the Earth's biosphere (living matter), atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), and geosphere (earth). Carbon is an element that is essential for life as we know it. Living organisms obtain carbon from their environment.
As with the other biogeochemical cycles, consumers still get their carbon from eating other organisms, but again, there is a major difference between carbon and other essential elements. The difference is that carbon is used by living organisms as the primary means of energy storage, transfer and usage. Let's take a look at how using carbon as a means to store energy affects the carbon cycle. Plants take atmospheric carbon dioxide, which has very little potential energy, and convert it to high energy-containing carbohydrates. They do this through photosynthesis, which is the process by which autotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. Energy can also be stored in the carbon bonds of lipids and proteins.
