AIR: Carbon Cycle & Oxygen Cycle

The carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle is best defined as-

• the process in which plants use energy from the sun to make their own food
• a green substance in plant leaves that captures energy from the sun
• living things
• the movement of carbon dioxide and oxygen between organisms and the air

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the                       as carbon dioxide.
