Answers
GPT-4o mini
Organisms cycle carbon from the **atmosphere** to the atmosphere through **processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition**.
In photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into organic matter (like glucose) using sunlight. Through respiration, organisms (including plants, animals, and decomposers) release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as they consume organic matter for energy. Decomposers break down dead organic matter, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere or soil. This process is part of the larger carbon cycle.
