Carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, enters living things from the nonliving environment when plants and other producers photosynthesize. Carbon returns to the environment when living things respire, are decomposed, or are burned (combustion).
We are 'hard-pressed' to delineate our Biosphere from any 'proposed abiotic parts'.
Excess Carbon from the Atmosphere readily, and detrimentally, dissolves into our Oceans; yet these can scarcely be said to be abiotic.
plants.
They use CO2 to supply the carbon in the sugars they produce.
what happens is carbon is breathed in by trees which then truns in to oxygen which we hmans breath in and then we exhale carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide enters plants, biotic parts of the biosphere, and in return oxygen is released. :)
Carbon enters the biotic part of the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water react to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen.

No
The carbon cycle is a process by which carbon is cycled between the atmosphere, land, water and organisms. Carbon enters a short-term cycle in an ecosystem when producers, such as plants, convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis.The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth
Although oxygen does not have an independent cycle, it moves through the biosphere as part of the carbon cycle. Develop a model to illustrate how oxygen fits into the carbon cycle. Include the various forms that oxygen takes in your model.
cellular respiration
The carbon cycle is closely related to photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon is exchanged from the atmosphere (in the form of CO2) into the biosphere (in the form of glucose).
... the air, all living things, the oceans and the land.... the atmosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere and the geosphere.
biotic because it is living and contributes to the carbon cycle
Biogeochemical cycling is the continuous cycling of chemical elements. This is through the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere.

Carbon sequestration is part of the carbon cycle, so it could be said that is where it occurs. The carbon cycle refers to the circulation of carbon atoms in the biosphere.

Carbon
No, as well as the geosphere, the carbon cycle also moves carbon between the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the hydrosphere.
