Carbon cycles through ecosystems, moving repeatedly from one organism to another, and between organisms and the environment. The carbon cycleis a key factor in maintaining the balance of an ecosystem. It works like this:

1. Plants photosynthesise, taking carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locking it into the carbohydrate glucose. (They also respire, giving out carbon dioxide;but they take in much more than they give out.

2. Animals get their carbon from eatingeither plants (carbohydrates) or other animals (proteins and fats) which they then digest. They respire, giving off carbon dioxide to the environment.

3. Waste carbon-based material is excreted by animals, and is digested bydecomposers - mainly microbes and fungi. The decomposers also respire, releasing carbon dioxide.

4. When animals die, their remains may be either eaten by scavengers (forexample, crows) or digested by decomposers. Both scavengers and decomposers respire, giving off more carbon dioxide.

Carbon cycle is the biogeochemical by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere,pedosphere,and hydrosphere of the earth. Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as major component of minerals such as limestone
