Question
how does the human body return carbon to the atmosphere in the carbon cycle? photosynthesis formation of glucose cellular respiration waste products
The human body returns carbon to the atmosphere through cellular respiration. In this process, cells break down glucose and other organic molecules, consuming oxygen and producing carbon - dioxide as a waste product, which is then exhaled into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is a process in plants to convert carbon - dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Formation of glucose is related to photosynthesis and not the process of returning carbon to the atmosphere by the human body. Waste products in general is a broad term and not the specific process for carbon return.
