There is generally a fixed number of carbon atoms on earth, which are being recycled, and have been since life began.
Carbon dioxide from the air is taken in by plants for and converted into . The plant will use some of this sugar for releasing back into the atmosphere. The plant could either be eaten by animals, or die and be eaten by decomposers such as microorganisms, fungi or insects. In any case, these organisms returning carbon atoms to the atmosphere. Animals themeselves will either be eaten by another animal or die and be in the same way. Alternatively the plant could be burnt producing carbon dioxide through the process of
