Plants have run the biological carbon cycle for 3 billion years in the ocean, and for the past 400 million years on land, using the process of photosynthesis to convert atmospheric CO 2 into carbon-rich carbohydrates and sugars to feed themselves. read more
The role that plants play in the carbon cycle is to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen as part of the process of photosynthesis. Humans on the other hand, absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. read more
