In the process of photosynthesis, plants need the sun's energy, water to make food for themselves in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate ) , which is packages of energy. Carbon coming into the plants ( or algae ) along with water make those ATP into a bigger molecule, which is know as glucose.
Formula: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Suns Energy -> glucose + oxygen
Photosynthesis has an affect on the carbon cycle because it reduces the amount of CO2 in the air and redirects it into sugars which feeds animals as well as humans.

∙ 12y agoFirst of all, Next time could you state "which cycle?" because i get confused easily!! :S
Anyway, if you're thinking the one I'm thinking of, here is your answer:
Photosynthesis takes in sunlight and feeds the plant to help it grow so the flower does not rot or die. The flower/plant turns its head towards the sun to make this possible.
hope that helps!

∙ 12y agoBecause during the day, plants create oxygen, glucose, and ATP, the equivalent of metabolic energy, from carbon dioxide and water. This is photosynthesis. It must be one when photons, or light is present. The green pigment chlorophyll, located in the chloroplasts, collects the photons converting them to energy to be used in photosynthesis. It also gives plants their green color. Some of the ATP and glucose are used to keep the plant alive, while some are stored for the nigh when the sun is out.
BUT, at night there is no way to produce energy, because there is no light. OR IS THERE!?! Photorespiration, the secondary energy producing process, converts glucose and oxygen back into carbon dioxide, and water, along with ATP.
photosynthesis: CO₂ + H₂O --photons--> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + ATP
photorespiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> CO₂ + H₂O + ATP
CO₂ - carbon dioxide
H₂O - water
C₆H₁₂O₆ - glucose
O₂ - oxygen
ATP - energy
Because all of the elements are recirculated through the system, it is a cycle.

Photosynthesis is the process of obtaining energy in producers (plants). This is in important because a producers is the beginning of every food chain, and energy passes from a plant to another organism.
Photosynthesis takes water and carbon dioxide and makes oxygen and glucose. The process of photosynthesis in plants is fundamental to the carbon/oxygen cycle. Animals need oxygen to breathe, so without photosynthesis, organisms could not live

What are the three nutrient cycles that play especially prominent roles?
The three nutrients cycle that plays a big part in our ecosystem are carbon cycles, nitrogen cycles and phosphorus cycles. These three are essential to sustain life and balance in our ecosystem.
Nitrogen is the most common element in the air. Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.
What role does nitrogen play in a nutrient cycle?
The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.
Do plants and animals play a role in the water carbon and the nitrogen cycles?
yes plants do they go through photosynthesis
What role does the transpiration play in the water cycle?
by taking part in the water cycle and watering the earths climate!
What part do fish in a lake play in the nitrogen cycle?
Respiration. Also, if the fish die, they slowly return the nitrogen to the air.
What are the three nutrient cycles that play especially prominent roles?

What cycle does the atmosphere not play a role in?
In nitrogen cycle
What organisms play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Producers (incorporate it into organic) and bacteria play a major role in the nitrogen cycle.
What role do producers play in nitrogen cycle?
theyre gey
What role do producers play in the nitrogen cycle?
theyre gey
What roles legumes play in the nitrogen cycle?
They absorb nitrogen from the air. Then nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert it to a useable form.
Which organisms are most critical in the nitrogen cycle?
Bacteria is the organism most critical in the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria in the nitrogen cycle provides different forms of nitrogen compounds used by higher organisms.
How does the water cycle relates to the forests?
Rainforests play a large part in regulating the water cycle. Rainforests help through the process of transpiration, which is the release of water from a plant's leaves during photosynthesis.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration part of the carbon cycle?
During photosynthesis carbon from carbon dioxide is synthesized in to more complex organic compounds and in respiration it is again released in the form of carbon dioxide gas. Thus both these processes play important role in carbon cycle.
Why Nitrogen is the most common element in the air .why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Several bacteria can fix the nitrogen fom atmosphere.
