Plants absorb CO2, break it apart and release the oxygen in a process known as photosynthesis. Without CO2 plants would die, releasing CO2. Balance would eventually be restored, though it might require several thousand years and a loss of significant forest or marine cyanobacteria.
2nd Answer:
Great answer! Also, if there were no carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases, the Earth would become a deep freeze, and life would mostly cease to exist. We owe our survival on the greenhouse gases to hold in some of the Sun's heat that hits the Earth every day, all day, thus keeping the air temperature close to the same temperature year 'round. (If you consider, "HOT hot and COLD cold", our winter and summer temperatures are close, indeed.

What would happen if we didnt have the carbon cycle?
It'd all get used up and life would cease.
What is carbon cycle?
it is a cycle in which carbon is constantly renewed
Which cycle is decomposition important?
The carbon cycle
What is the difference between the carbon cycle and the oxygen cycle?
The carbon and oxygen cycle are related by complementary relationship. For example whenever animals and humans breath they breath in oxygen and breath out carbon. Another example is plant and trees tack in carbon for nutrients and releases oxygen.
How does the carbon cycle work with the nitrogen cycle?
Both of them are different, so both cycles work together. The carbon cycle lets out carbon dioxide and it then transfers it into the trees. The trees get the nitrogen and the cycle starts again.
What would happen if we didnt have the carbon cycle?
It'd all get used up and life would cease.
What would happen if all the decompose-rs are removed the carbon cycle?
In the absence of decomposers from carbon cycle heaps of organic matter will accumulate. This will ultimately disturb the natural balance.
What would happen to photosynthesis if all three-carbon sugars produced in the Calvin cycle were used to make organic compounds?
The cycle would stop. You need to reinvest these compounds into the cycle to keep the biochemical process moving.
What would happen without any decomposers in the cycle?
Dead material would accumulate to choke out livable habitat. Basically, there would be dead organisms and animal waste piled up everywhere!
Are carbon cycle related to herbivore?
Every living organism is related to the Carbon Cycle. Herbivores would be related to the carbon cycle because they breathe in air, and breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is the continuous movement of carbon from nonliving environment into living things and then back to nonliving?
the carbon cycle
What would happen to the water cycle without precipication?
There would be no water cycle.
What would happen to the rock cycle if did not occur?
There Would No longer Be a Rock Cycle :(
Would removing animals from the carbon cycle stop the cycle?
yes, no, maybe so
What cycle involves photosynthesis and respiration?
No cycle. Transpiration is part of the water cycle, and photosynthesis is what plants do to feed themselves.Carbon cycle involves both of them. Photosynthesis remove Carbon from atmosphere. Respiration release them back
What are the nature cycles?
nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, and sulfur cycle
What is carbon cycle?
it is a cycle in which carbon is constantly renewed
