The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration.

Most of the chemicals that make up living tissue contain carbon. When organisms die the carbon is recycled so that it can be used by future generations. The model that describes the processes involved is called the carbon cycle.
Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion.Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis.
Animals feed on the plant passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most of the carbon they consume is exhaled as carbon dioxide formed during respiration.
The animals and plants eventually die.The dead organisms are eaten by decomposers and the carbon in their bodies is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
In some conditions decomposition is blocked. The plant and animal material may then be available as fossil fuel in the future for combustion.
