The Cycle of Life

The body uses food (glucose) and air (oxygen) to stay alive. Cellular
respiration turns food & oxygen into energy.

Every cell needs "ATP energy" for the heart cells to beat, the lung
cells to breathe, the nerve cells to sense. Energy needed to think. Energy to be alive.
Take a step back and see the wonder of mother nature. Nature takes the outputs of
cellular respiration (carbon dioxide & water) and makes them the inputs to
photosynthesis. Nature takes the outputs of photosynthesis (oxygen & glucose) and
makes them the inputs to cellular respiration.
This cycle of life goes 'round and 'round.
Life has come full circle. It's perfect. Mother nature is wasting nothing, while taking
care of its children. The plants take care of the animals. The animals take care of the
plants. The process is filled with so many detailed steps that have to be perfectly
aligned, and executed in perfect sequence, or the cycle doesn't work.
