Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Answer:

Cellular respiration is a cellular process by which the organism in the presence of oxygen breakdown glucose and release energy that is stored in the form of ATP.

The by product of this process is carbon dioxide and water. This carbon dioxide is used by plants for the process of photosynthesis.

This is one of way by which carbon dioxide is provided to relay the carbon cycle.
