Let’s find out! Corals neither are plants, nor a quaint stone, but living marine polyps that have a unique limestone skeleton structure growing about 15 mm every year. Corals are the lower coelenterate multicellular creatures in the world’s oceans. Imagine a solid lime cylinder, surrounded from the inside and outside...

I say 'almost' because the rate of photosynthesis exceeds the rate of cellular respiration. However, some of that difference is made up for by wildfires that burn plant matter and release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, much like cellular respiration does. Wildfires make up for most of that difference, but no...

Also in marine environments, carbon-containing matter (such as calcium carbonate) is incorporated into the shells and other hard parts of aquatic organisms. When these organisms die, the carbon-rich hard parts sink to the ocean bed. There they become buried in sediment, and eventually densify into rocks such as limest...

So as they die, the parts that have carbon in them will start to decay or break down into the deep parts of the ocean.

As rain falls, it washes some CO2 out of the atmosphere and into the ocean as carbonic acid. Some of this CO2 returns when atmospheric CO2 is low.
