What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?

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. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis (Figure below) and cellular respiration worldwide helps to keep atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at stable levels.

The process by which the cells transform food to energy is known as cellular respiration. In the process of cellular respiration, food gets dissociated along with the use of oxygen. The outcomes of the reaction are water, carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of ATP.  

The cellular respiration process is the net producer of carbon dioxide that forms cellular respiration a vital part of the carbon cycle. A subsequent process, that is, photosynthesis is the sink for carbon dioxide and is also a fundamental component of the carbon cycle.
