Carbon gets back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuels, and the cellular respiration of living things.
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Carbon Cycle.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule in which carbon is found in the Earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere.
The carbon cycle
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Carbon is cycled from the atmosphere to producers (plants) through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide to produce glucose. Consumers then consume these plants, obtaining carbon by eating them. When consumers respire or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
