- C02+H20 are combined in photosynthesis using light energy.
- Light energy is trapped and used to form organic molecules such as glucose.
- The C02 comes from the atmosphere which makes 0.03% of the atmosphere.
- Photosynthesis is responsible for reducing the atmospheric C02.
- The passage of carbon through the various trophic level we have identified the producer but then producers are eaten by primary consumers.
- The primary consumer takes in the carbon from the producer and uses it to reconstitute body materials so it grows.

The Carbon Cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate.
The annual movements of carbon, the carbon exchanges between reservoirs, occur because of various chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes.
The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere
Carbon fluxes between atmosphere, land and ocean in a cycle that includes almost all the games of life and the thermostat for the Earth's climate.
When you settle on the seabed, the carbon stored in the rest of the carbon cycle for a while '.
The Carbon Cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate. The same carbon atoms in your body today have been used in countless other molecules since time began.
Among the most significant areas of study within the realm of geochemistry are biogeochemical cycles. These are the changes that a particular element undergoes as it passes back and forth through the various earth systems—particularly between living and nonliving matter.
The movement of carbon,in its many forms, between the biosphere,atmosphere,oceans and geosphere is described by the carbon cycle.
You have got a really useful blog I have been here reading for about an hour.

The process of photosynthesis incorporates the carbon atoms from carbon dioxide into sugars. Animals, such as the rabbit pictured here, eat the plants and use the carbon to build their own tissues.
Photosynthesis = CO2+H2O -chl&light-> C6H12O6 + O2 = 0.03% of atmospheric carbon.
Very useful post. Never regarded that it was this simple after all. I had used time looking for someone to explain this subject.
