Marine organisms use ( dissolved) carbon
dioxide to form their shells / skeletons
Or
limestone was formed from shells / skeletons
of marine organisms
allow reacts with water
Accept remains in plants / algae /
marine organisms contain locked
up carbon dioxide / carbon in the
form of fossil fuels
Do not accept plants use carbon
dioxide for respiration
Accept carbon dioxide becomes
locked up in sedimentary rocks /
carbonates / limestone
Precipitation or formation of
insoluble carbonates
