iv. During respiration, plants and animals release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere.

v. The dead bodies of plants and animals as well as the body wastes, which are also rich in carbon compounds, are broken down by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi to release carbon dioxide.
