Answer:
Photosynthesis
Light energy from the sun stimulates photosynthesis by green plants. One major component of the carbon cycle is the reduction of the carbon (IV) oxide content in the atmosphere by plants. Plants take in Carbon (IV) oxide to use during the process of making their own food. During this process light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon (IV) oxide and water to glucose.
This glucose is used during respiration by living organisms that give out carbon (IV) oxide. The cycle continues.
