How does energy flow through the carbon cycle?
Carbon and energy leave living organisms through processes such as combustion, respiration, excretion, and death. Combustion of organic matter, such as burning wood, breaks chemical bonds converting chemical energy to heat energy. Carbon dioxide is a by-product of combustion. Respiration (which takes place in living cells and is a process similar to combustion but is more controlled) converts the energy stored in chemical bonds to a form the organism can use.

About Energy
Energy is used to do work. In our modern lives we are more and more preoccupied with finding new sources of energy to heat our buildings and move our machines, including cars. Since the dawn of the 20th century, fossil fuels have been the main way we get energy, but those forms of energy are causing environmental damage and leading to global warming. That is because the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. New forms of energy are being sought.
