    The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, organisms, and Earth's lithosphere. Carbon dioxide enters organisms through photosynthesis and is used to produce organic compounds, then exits through respiration and combustion. When plants and animals die, decomposers break down their remains, releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, and carbon is also released through the burning of fossil fuels.
