How do plankton and volcanoes regulate the levels of carbon dioxide on earth?

They don't.
Plankton do remove vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Ocean and the atmosphere. By doing this they help to regulate CO2 levels, but they are fighting a losing battle at the moment.
Volcanoes do not regulate CO2 levels. A volcanic eruption releases carbon dioxide, but the amount is very small compared to what man releases by our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, all of which release carbon dioxide.

What does blood carbon dioxide regulate?
blood pH
What two gases are emitted from volcanoes?
carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide.
What organisms absorb carbon dioxide?
Tremendous blooms of plankton
What 3 compounds come out of volcanoes which are gases?
The most notable gases that come out of volcanoes are sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and water vapour.
What are the four most common gases released by volcanoes?
Water vapour (steam) Sulphur dioxide Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide
Does plankton produce carbon dioxide?
Yes. Plankton produce carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
How does plankon function?
Plankton takes in carbon dioxide from the sea and stores it in its body. When plankton dies, it still has the carbon dioxide inside it, so has removed some of the problem from the ocean (problem for us). Without plankton, there'd be a lot more carbon dioxide and global warming would be worse.
How can plankton help combat global warming?
Plankton may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What are microscopic ocean plants that absorb carbon dioxide?
Plankton
What does blood carbon dioxide regulate?
blood pH
Do plankton have any requirements for life?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight.
What are the two main gases in a volcanoes emit?
Steam, Sulfur dioxide, Carbon Dioxide.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
What two gases are emitted from volcanoes?
carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide.
What organisms absorb carbon dioxide?
Tremendous blooms of plankton
Are they any volcanoes contributing to air pollution?
Most active volcanoes release sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is air pollution
What 3 compounds come out of volcanoes which are gases?
The most notable gases that come out of volcanoes are sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and water vapour.
