WHAT DOES CARBON FIXATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

carbon fixation

Carbon fixation

Carbon fixation is the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic compounds by living organisms. The most prominent example is photosynthesis, although chemosynthesis is another form of carbon fixation that can take place in the absence of sunlight. Organisms that grow by fixing carbon are called autotrophs. Autotrophs include photoautotrophs, which synthesize organic compounds using the energy of sunlight, and lithoautotrophs, which synthesize organic compounds using the energy of inorganic oxidation. Heterotrophs are organisms that grow using the carbon fixed by autotrophs. The organic compounds are used by heterotrophs to produce energy and to build body structures. "Fixed carbon", "reduced carbon", and "organic carbon" are equivalent terms for various organic compounds.

Definition of carbon fixation in the English dictionary

The definition of carbon fixation in the dictionary is the process by which plants assimilate carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to form metabolically active compounds.
