The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. The layers of cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other. This barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron (1/10,000 of a centimeter) in thickness. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.
As the ocean takes up CO2 that means that the mussel's who live in the ocean take up some of the carbon dioxide in to there shells.
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
is called respiration. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen through small openings called stomata in their leaves. This process is vital for the plant's survival as it allows them to obtain the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis and release excess oxygen as a byproduct.

A tree takes in carbon dioxide, and returns oxygen to the atmosphere.
photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and recycles it to make oxygen. that is why trees are very important to the earth
A leaf takes in sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Carbon takes the form of carbon dioxide, CO2, and carbon monoxide, CO. Carbon dioxide makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere, and carbon monoxide makes up about 0.0002% of the atmosphere.https://www.space.com/17683-earth-atmosphere.htmlhttps://www.environment.gov.au/protection/publications/factsheet-carbon-monoxide-co
Haemoglobin removes carbon dioxide

yes it does as the rain takes in the carbon dioxide
No. Earth's atmosphere is composed (by dry volume) of about 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 0.93% Argon. Carbon dioxide is the fourth most common component of our atmosphere, at 0.038%. Carbon dioxide is a "trace gas".
Animal respiration takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Significant components of the Earth's atmosphere include nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
