Biological carbon fixation or сarbon assimilation is the process by which inorganic carbon (particularly in the form of carbon dioxide) is converted to organic compounds by living organisms. See also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_carbon_fixation].

== Function ==
Organisms that grow by fixing carbon are called autotrophs, which include photoautotrophs (which use sunlight), and lithoautotrophs (which use inorganic oxidation).


== Disease ==
Several autotrophic carbon fixation pathways are known:

'''1) Calvin cycle'''

You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
