Most importantly, carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants in order to photosynthesise. The oxygen is absorbed when plants respire. The atmosphere is the source of rain for their water. Physical aspects of the atmosphere, such as strong winds, can damage plants.

Why does cellular respiration add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and not photosynthesis?

Respiration does not add carbon to the atmosphere. Breathing emits carbon dioxide that was recently removed from the atmosphere (when the food we eat was growing). Human and animals live by taking in oxygen needed for living and breathing out carbon oxygen into the atmosphere. This is part of the carbon cycle, and does not contribute to global warming.


What is often at the bottom of food chain?

Plants are usually at the bottom of the food chain. The thing at the bottom of the food chain has to be able to make its own food, if it ate anything it would no longer be at the bottom of the food chain.
