The interaction of varying processes within an ecosystem contributes to the overall cycle of ecosystem respiration. This carbon is cycled throughout the ecosystem as various factors continue to uptake or release the carbon in different circumstances. The ecosystem takes in carbon through photosynthesis, decomposition, and ocean uptake. The ecosystem returns this carbon through animal respiration, plant respiration, and auto/factory emissions. This constant cycle of carbon through the system is not the only element being transferred. In animal and plant respiration these living beings take in glucose and oxygen while emitting energy, carbon dioxide, and water as waste. These constant cycles provide for a influx of oxygen into the system and carbon out of the system.
