Conclusion
Photosynthesis: In this process plants form their food by absorbing the atmospheric carbon in the form of carbon dioxide gas and release oxygen gas.
Respiration: In this process plants and animals respire resulting in breakdown of glucose stored in the plants and animals to release CO2, water and energy.
Decomposition: In this process dead plants and animals get decomposed to release carbon into the environment.
Combustion: Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide gas into the environment as by product.
Movement of carbon from the atmosphere to the oceans: The oceans, and other water bodies, soak up about a quarter of the carbon dioxide to form carbonates.
Thus, the amount of carbon dioxide, so formed, is almost equal to the amount of carbon dioxide consumed hence, its concentration in air remains same.
I am Carbon atom. Plants use me to make their food.
We take carbon from the atmosphere to make food and release O2.
As animals eat us, the carbon in form of CO2 goes into their body.
As the animals die and form fossil fuels. I get deposited into the ground.
As the by product of combustion, I get released into the atmosphere by factories.
From air, into the water!!
