It's part of the Carbon Cycle. By humans breathing in oxygen, your body stores complex carbohydrates internelly as a source of energy before converting the carbon back to Co2, via aerobic respiration.

Why carbon can not enter the atmosphere?
Carbon can enter the atmosphere. It moves in and out of the atmosphere through the earth's regular carbon cycle.What it can not do is enter as pure carbon. Carbon is a solid in it's natural state and solids fall out of our atmosphere. Carbon must mix with a gas, such as oxygen, to create another gas, carbon dioxide, to enter the atmosphere.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
What describes seasonal changes in the levels of carbon dixode in the atmosphere?
Plants use carbon dioxide, so there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the summer.
Summarize the carbon cycle starting and ending with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.?
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.

How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
How does carbon move from plants and animals into the atmosphere?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
