We humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Energy from the Sun warms the Earth's surface via short-wave radiation. Some of this energy is reflected back as long-wave radiation.
Carbon dioxide, water vapour and other gases prevent this long-wave solar radiation escaping from the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect, and it is thought to be the primary cause of Global Warming.
Hope this helps. :)
What else can I help you with?
What is the gas exchange between humans and plants?
Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and expel Oxygen as a by-product of cellular respiration. Animals take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide as a by-product of cellular respiration.
Do humans breathe out only carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide with a little amount of oxygen?
we breath out a little oxygen aswell
Do humans inhale carbon dioxide?
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
What do humans do with the oxygen they breath?
we take in oxygen and give carbon dioxide
What takes in oxygen?
Humans take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
How do humans fit in the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle?
Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as part of the respiratory process. This exchange of gases helps maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, humans play a role in the carbon cycle through activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which can contribute to an imbalance in the carbon dioxide levels.
What is the source of oxygen released by plants?
plants inhale carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen. Its the opposite of what humans do, we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
How are plants different than humans?
the Photosynthesi does not allow the ability of a plant cell to prouduce solar energy in carbon dioxide
What produes carbon dioxide?
Humans and animals produce carbon dioxide (CO2). They breath in oxygen, and in the mitochondria of cells, it creates carbon dioxide.
Why do plants need carbon dioxide and nort oxygen?
because they need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis they are just like humans but they take in carbon dioxide and then change it to oxygen and release it in the air
What is the meaning of Oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle?
It is a cycle on how carbon dioxide is transformed into oxygen for animals and humans and other living things to breathe.
Humans breathe in oxygen and release what type of gas?
Humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
