What roles do photosynthesis and cellular respiration play in the recycling of carbon?

Answer 1

Clara Atchley

By synthsize glucose and releasing carbon dioxide.

Both opposite phenomena have a great role in cycling the carbon in atmosphere.
Photosynthes is a anabolic process, which synthesizes the glucose by taking carbondioxide from the atmosphere.
Respiration is catabolic process, which releases the carbon dioxide from the glucose to the atmosphere. Thank you

Together, they contribute to the cycling of carbon between the atmosphere and living things. Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transforms it into glucose, storing carbon. Cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere by breaking down glucose for energy.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
