What would happen if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor were not in the atmosphere?
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
What would happen if you tried to light a match on mars?
There would be no flame because fire needs oxygen to burn, and the Martian atmosphere consists mainly of Carbon Dioxide.
What would happen to a person if they stayed on venus?
Without a Space Suit they would be stunk, suffocated and quickly roasted to death. Details below... Venus has a runaway Greenhouse gas type atmosphere. The mass of the atmosphere of Venus is 96.5% carbon dioxide, with most of the remaining 3.5% being nitrogen. Plus there is Sulphar Dioxide in the Venus's atmosphere. Surface temp is 425 °C.
What evidence is there that plants make there own food using energy from the Sun?
The process called photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and energy from the Sun's rays to separate out carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used to form the long organic molecules that make up the body of the plant, while the oxygen is mainly released back into the atmosphere. That's how we have oxygen to breathe, and without plants mammal life would never have been possible. Later the plant tissue (e.g. wood) can be burned, and this reunites the carbon and oxygen atoms to produce heat and carbon dioxide. This can also happen after millions of years after the plants have decomposd and fossilised, and this is the origin of the term 'fossil fuel'.
What would happen if the rate at which materials naturally move in or out of the atmosphere changed?
Either more or less materials would be in the atmosphere.

The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
What would happen if carbon dioxide and methane were not around the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide and methane are two greenhouse gases. They trap infrared heat rising from the earth's surface and help to keep the earth warm enough for life. If they were not around, the earth would be too cold for life.
What would happen if you kept on breathing in carbon dioxide?
There is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You have been breathing it in all your life.
What happen when extra carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere?
nothing will happen at all
What would happen if layer of carbon dioxide around the earth got thicker?
There is no insulating LAYER of Carbon Dioxide round the Earth. The Carbon Dioxide is mixed up with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and is not present in the atmosphere as a layer. If the absolute amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the Earth would get warmer.

What will happen if you have more carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. More of it in the earth's atmosphere means that more heat will be retained. This will, indeed is, causing global warming.
What would happen to the temperature of the atmosphere if carbon dioxide increased due to human activity?
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.

What will happen to the temperature of the atmosphere after you stop adding carbon dioxide into the air?
we will all die :)
What happen to the carbon dioxide produced in breaking down pyruvic acid?
it is released in the atmosphere
