What is the most likely effect a decrease of plant life in the biosphere would have on the atmosphere?
As a byproduct of photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen. A decrease in plants would mean a decrease in the amount of oxygen being released into the atmosphere, although such a decrease would have to be large in order to produce a noticeable effect.
Which process increases the amount of oxygen and decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis by green vegetation and forests.
Has the amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere increased in recent years?
The amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere has not noticeably increased in recent years. The amount of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere is about 21%. It is part of the earth's oxygen cycle, the main driver of which is photosynthesis. Vegetation removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, releases the oxygen (O2) and stores the carbon (C).
Does osmosis primarily release oxygen into the atmosphere?
No, photosynthesis. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis.
The type of gas that is released into the air after photosynthesis?
Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere as a by-product of photosynthesis.
What happened to amount of oxygen in air if photosynthesis stopped?
no effect

What component of the earths atmosphere exists as a result of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Therefore, much of the oxygen in our atmosphere is present due to photosynthesis.
What was the earth's atmosphere before like photosynthesis?
it will be with no oxygen because photosynthesis produce oxygen
What is the process that produces oxygen that is released into the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis
Oxygen was introduced into the atmosphere as a byproduct of?
The source of oxygen in the atmosphere is a complicate stellar process.
The abundance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is partly because of what?
The Process of Photosynthesis that plant use to produce energy food is responsible for a lot of oxygen being freed into the atmosphere.
What is the major atmosphere by-product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen -Sabrina (:
The type of gas that is released into the air after photosynthesis?
Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere as a by-product of photosynthesis.
