How does respiration affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

They decrease the amount of Carbon dioxide & increase the amount of Oxygen.

Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows. So breathing does not increase…

Forests affect our climate by affecting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As forests grow, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and absorbed into the wood and leaves. Forests absorb, store, and release carbon dioxide which affects the climate worldwide.

Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the air and fixes it into a carbohydrate ring structure.

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.

Respiration (breathing) changes the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants make food, decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as the carbon dioxide is absorbed to release oxygen as the byproduct. So afforestation and reforestation will reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This is because there is a balance between animals which are producers of carbon dioxide and plants which consumes carbon dioxide. Again plants also reduces the amount of carbon dioxide during respiration over the night

Because Photosynthesis and respiration are oppositely linked the overall there is no affect on the carbon-oxygen cycle. While Photosynthesis occur in our natural world, like trees inhales carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and gives off oxygen and a complex called glucose. meanwhile in respiration is when the complex (glucose) is burned back in presence of oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide gas per unit amount used. This cycle is carbon neutral.

More Exercise=More demand for energy More demand for energy=More Respiration More respiration=More CO2

Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration that occurs within cells. It is expelled out of the body through the respiratory system. That's why there is carbon dioxide in your breath. A lesser amount is attributed to carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere which we breathe in.

Humans contribute to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels. Burning any carbon releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.

Climate scientists believe that burning fossil fuel is increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Cows have little affect on the atmosphere compared to human activity. The carbon dioxide and methane emissions produced by cattle thriough belching and flatulence are considered insignificant compared to the amount produced by humans.

Levels of carbon dioxide would continue to build up in the atmosphere. Animals are part of the carbon cycle. They take in and release carbon dioxide, but they don't affect the overall amount.

it has almost doubled!

The atmosphere is very thin and is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.

When it erupts, it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting it.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.

yes it does. but only a small amount

Temperature for both. Cellular respiration- amount of oxygen. Photosynthesis- amount of light

When you exercise the energy demand is higher and so respiration rate is higher. Respiration = Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon dioxide (+energy). So higher respiration rate, more carbon dioxide
