Carbon Cycle Recap

The Carbon cycle is basically the combination between photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Cell respiration takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide while photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen.

So basically, it's a never ending cycle that maintains the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere.

Photosynthesis formula

An important thing that the carbon cycle contributes to is the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, which is incredibly important since us humans burn tons of fossil fuels on a daily basis that just adds to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. 

So thank you plants for cleaning our air!
