The cow eats the grass; as the grass regrows, it takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into its growing leaves and roots (along with other nutrients) and stores the carbon molecules in the soil. The cow that ate the grass also has to excrete her wastes, which turns back into the soil through the act of decomposition. She also releases carbon into the atmosphere, but it is quickly put back into the earth by the plants that breathe it in and exhale oxygen through the act of photosynthesis.

Transpiration is a part of the water cycle, not the carbon cycle. In the carbon cycle, carbon moves between the atmosphere, the oceans, and the earth's vegetation and soil.
