= Biological carbon fixation
{wiki=Biological_carbon_fixation}
Biological carbon fixation is the process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into organic compounds by living organisms, primarily through the process of photosynthesis. This process is crucial for maintaining the Earth's carbon cycle and is foundational for the production of food and energy in ecosystems. In photosynthesis, plants, algae, and certain bacteria utilize sunlight to convert CO2 and water into glucose and oxygen.
