Photosynthesis and respiration are the two life processes involved in the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Photosynthesis and respiration are the two cellular processes involved in the oxygen carbon cycle. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration plants and animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis is a process that helps to remove carbon dioxide and release oxygen, carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Together, these processes help to maintain a balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the atmosphere.
The balance of atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained through a combination of natural processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and the carbon cycle. Photosynthetic organisms like plants and phytoplankton consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while respiration by living organisms and decomposition releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. These processes work together to regulate the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
In the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) is recycled from the atmosphere through processes like photosynthesis and respiration. In the oxygen cycle, oxygen (O2) is recycled through processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.
Yes, carbon is derived from carbon dioxide through processes like photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into organic compounds with the help of sunlight. Additionally, carbon can be released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through processes like respiration and combustion.
