What is carbon cycle?

Explanation

The carbon cycle is mainly the conversion of carbon dioxide. This conversion is initiated by the fixation of carbondioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Such conversion result in the production of carbohydrates, glucoses that may be converted to other organic compounds such as sucrose, starch, cellulose, etc. Here, some of the carbohydrates are utilised directly by the plant itself. During this process, more carbon dioxide is generated and is released through its leaves or roots during the day. The remaining carbohydrates not being utilised by the plant become part of the plant tissue. Plant tissues are either being eaten by the herbivorous animals or get decomposed by the microorganisms. The herbivores convert some of the consumed carbohydrates into carbon dioxide for release into the air through respiration. The microorganisms decompose the remaining carbohydrates after the animal dies.
