Too much carbon dioxide would cause a greenhouse effect, the Earth would trap all the heat from the sun killing all the plants and life on Earth. The Earth would become like the planet Venus.
Just the right amount would be beneficial to plants because plants take in CO2 and release oxygen.

∙ 12y agoAn increase in plant growth would be the way the earth could naturally balance a rise in carbon dioxide. But if the associated temperature increase predominantly converted tropical rain forest into desert, that uptake would not occur.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Solar radiation that passes through the atmosphere, strikes the ground and is reradiated in the infrared spectrum (heat) that is preferentially absorbed by CO2 gas. The net effect is an increase in earth's temperature.
Our species has been pumping over 30 billion tons of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere each year. This additional gas has NOT been absorbed by plants, otherwise we would not measure a steady increase of depleted CO2. (CO2 from plants contains a natural small abundance of radiocarbon).
The rise in temperature will cause glaciers to melt, increase sea levels, increase desertification of some areas, and cause species migration which has already been noted. There will be other effects. This is a grand experiment, and although we don't know all the outcomes, we will be sure to find out.

Eventually if the chamber were sealed the plant might run out of CO2 and then it would begin to die.

∙ 10y agoAn increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will cause an increase in global warming. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that is trapping the sun's heat. More of it causes more warming.

How could increases in carbon dioxide in the air affects world temperatures?
it contributes as co2 traps heat and makes the environment warmer.
How do you increase amount of carbon dioxide in greenhouse?
Simplest would be to remove any plants from the greenhouse, then spend some time in there yourself. Plants remove CO2 from the air, while your breathing would introduce CO2 into the air. If you are dead set on keeping your plants in the greenhouse (weird, I know), then most things that burn or decompose will add some form of CO2 to the air. Out of curiousity; why would you want higher levels of CO2?
What will happen if humidity increases until the air cannot hold more water vapor?
it occurs as rain,fog,or mist
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
the air pressure increases
In the troposphere as air temperature increases generally air pressure increases too.?
false
What would happen if carbon dioxide in the air increases around a plant?
The rate of photosynthesis will increase, if light is not a limiting factor
What substances are required for photosynthesis to happen?
Sunlight, CO2 (air), and water (H2O).
What happen when hydrocarbon burns in air?
It is a exothermal reaction. It will form CO2 and H2O.
What happen to air when it is compressed?
When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules
What would happen if you used CO2 in a compressed air gun?
It would shoot maybe 5 shots, until the liquid co2 jammed up the valve or other mechanisms, and you would have to wait for it to reheat. It can permanently damage certain high end guns.
If all the rainforst were gone what will happen?
There would likely be a buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a decrease of oxygen (O2) in the air because trees take in CO2 and release oxygen. This cold possibly lead to the extinction of the human race.
How could increases in carbon dioxide in the air affects world temperatures?
it contributes as co2 traps heat and makes the environment warmer.
How can you get CO2 out of the air?
it can get out of the air by cricleating are round and around untill you can see the co2 in the air thats when you no that the co2 is out because you can see the air
How do breathing happen?
its cycle between living animals(yes this includes humans) and plants. when plants breathe they inhale CO2(carbon dioxide) and exhale O(oxygen). when animals breathe they inhale O(oxygen) and exhale CO2(carbon dioxide). without plants we would not be here becaude the air would not recycle CO2 and O.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
How refreshing the air in the air sacs helps to maintain a steep diffusion gradient?
It increases the partial pressure of oxygen, so the concentration is higher than that of the blood. Therefore the partial pressure of CO2 decreases , so Co2's concentration is lower than the bloods.
When you pump some air in a fully occupied by air container would the mass of the air increases?
no
