A process through which bacteria break down organic matter—such as animal manure, wastewater biosolids. The break down releases CO2 as a gas.		Anaerobic respiration
When you breathe, you take oxygen into your lungs as you inhale, and you release carbon dioxide and water vapor as you exhale. It is the process in which the cells of living things use oxygen to break down glucose for energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as waste.		Cellular respiration
After the organisms die, they sink to the seafloor. Over time, layers of shells and sediment are cemented together and turn to rock, storing the carbon in stone. Only 80 percent of carbon-containing rock is currently made this way.		Limstone formation
