The flow of carbon in living matter in which carbon dioxide is fixed by photosynthesis in green plants from organic nutrients and is ultimately returned to the inorganic state by respiration and decay. 3, record 1, English, - carbon%20cycle

The carbon cycle models the movement and storage of carbon in the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Carbon is stored in the biosphere as living organisms; in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas; in the lithosphere as soil organic matter, as fossil fuel deposits, and as sedimentary rock deposits; and in the oceans as dissolved carbon dioxide gas and as calcium carbonate shells in marine organisms. Processes that move carbon from one store to another include photosynthesis, respiration, oceanic diffusion, biomass combustion, fossil fuel burning, fossil fuel creation, and sedimentary rock formation. 4, record 1, English, - carbon%20cycle

Not to be confused with "Calvin cycle," which refers to the photosynthesis phase involving the incorporation of CO2 into glucose by enzymatic reactions. 5, record 1, English, - carbon%20cycle

Circulación del carbono a través de los ecosistemas. El carbono en forma de CO2 es incorporado por las plantas verdes durante la fotosíntesis, pasando luego éstas a los herbívoros, carnívoros y saprófitos que cierran el ciclo, volviendo el CO2 a la atmósfera. 2, record 1, Spanish, - ciclo%20del%20carbono

Ciclo del carbono. El carbono es elemento básico en la formación de las moléculas de carbohidratos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos, pues todas las moléculas orgánicas están formadas por cadenas de carbonos enlazados entre sí. La reserva fundamental de carbono, en moléculas de CO2 que los seres vivos puedan asimilar, es la atmósfera y la hidrosfera. Este gas está en la atmósfera en una concentración de más del 0,03% y cada año aproximadamente un 5% de estas reservas de CO2, se consumen en los procesos de fotosíntesis, es decir que todo el anhídrido carbónico se renueva en la atmósfera cada 20 años. 3, record 1, Spanish, - ciclo%20del%20carbono
