Carbon dioxide (CO2) constitutes less than 1% of Earth's atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle. Plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, converting it into oxygen and glucose (C6H12O6). This process is vital for sustaining life, as animals consume these plants for energy. The cycle continues through the burning of fossil fuels and the natural processes of death and decay, which release CO2 back into the atmosphere, maintaining the balance of carbon in our ecosystem.
