The C3 Cycle, Calvin Cycle, Calvin-Bension Cycle, The CBC, Carbon Fixation, etc...

How does the cosmos turn air into a pear?  With a little help from Rubisco, a strange microscopic fairy found in plant cells.  A cow is processed grass and grass is process air.  That burger you are eating is simply a modified green house gas known as carbon dioxide, mostly.  That burger also has a little oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen too..oh yeah those are gasses too!

Much of this carbon capture (fixation) process is a recycling of molecules.

Almost forgot, see the flag in the corner, next to captured sunshine...aka glucose, that is the primary component of popcorn on the chips!

Yumm!
