Carbon is one of the elements that are involved in the biogeochemical cycle.

One way carbon moves from the atmosphere to the biosphere is through a process by which plants use light energy and convert it into biochemical energy. This process is called photosynthesis. Plants use energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water to form glucose.

In photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide react with six molecules of water to produce oxygen and glucose as follows;

6CO2 + 6H2O >C6H12O6 + 6O2. The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Carbon is incorporated  into the carbon cycle via water in the hydrosphere when carbon dioxide dissolves into oceans as the bicarbonate ion. The oceans serve as the largest reservoir of carbon. About 37,000 billion tons of carbon are stored in the oceans out of  about 65,500 billion tons of carbon available globally.

Proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates are based on carbon. Carbon is contained in all biological molecules which makes it very important in biochemistry.

Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction as shown above. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells which is able to trap energy from the sun in order for the process of photosynthesis to take place.

The reservoirs that make up the carbon cycle are four;

Carbon is transferred from the atmosphere to the biosphere by photosynthesis when green plants absorb carbon in order to produce biomass. The overall scale of the carbon cycle is planetary.
