    Carbon cycle is the process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide undergoes


    photosynthesis to become organic nutrients, which is then followed by respiration,
    decay, or burning to return to its inorganic state. The primary carbon resource of our
    planet is made up of the atmosphere, the oceans, the vegetation, the rocks, and the
    soil. For my 3D output, as you can see, the part primary producers play
    (Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration) the carbon dioxide in the air is
    absorbed by plants, who are the main producers of food, to create food in the form of
    carbohydrates through a process known as photosynthesis. The carbon cycle is built
    on top of this. Respiration by plants returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus
    once again contributing to the cycle in a different manner. The next one is the
    primary consumers, also known as cellular respiration and carbon fixation.
    Primary consumers, like cows and horses, eat plants and accumulate and fix carbon
    in the form of organic carbon, a process known as carbon fixation, in their bodies.
    Animals' respiration causes carbon dioxide to be released back into the
    atmosphere. The Next one is the Detritus Feeder or what we called
    Decomposition. Decomposition plays a part in the release of fixed organic carbon
    from dead plants and animals back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas
    through breakdown by detritus feeders. Lastly, The role of Fossils and Fossil fuels
    (Combustion). After many years of decay, the carbon that is left in the bodies of
    deceased creatures transforms into fossil fuels, which, when burned, release the
    carbon that was stored in them back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle. The
    carbon cycle is crucial for maintaining the equilibrium of carbon in nature. The
    carbon cycle contributes to the survival of life on earth because the pace at which
    producers synthesize food through photosynthesis is determined by atmospheric
    carbon dioxide.
