Respiration by animals is one of the ways through which carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere. The other way is through burning fuels that are carbon-based.
Excess, or additional carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere only by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and a very small amount from volcanic activity.All other carbon dioxide moves in and out of the oceans, atmosphere and land as part of the normal carbon cycle, which includes the growing and dying of vegetation.Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere (when the vegetation grew) 300 million years ago, so it is extra.
Some carbon dioxide is absorbed by the top levels of the oceans where it is beginning to turn the oceans more acidic. That and photosynthesis are the only ways that carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere. Industries that emit carbon dioxide pollution are trialling ways of trapping carbon dioxide as it goes up the chimney stacks (scrubbers).
The burning of rainforests releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, as the combustion of anything does.When the rainforests are destroyed they no longer are able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.Both these things lead to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
They don't affect the carbon cycle, they are part of it. Vegetation is one of the many ways that carbon moves in and out of the air. Another common way is the ocean absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
When the cells of plants and animals break down food to produce energy and when fossil fuels (Such as coal and gasoline) are burned.

The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
They release carbon dioxide when they burn.The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Through oxygen cycle. Humans and animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This ways the oxygen is circulated in the atmosphere.
Earths atmosphere has changed in a few ways. It contains more pollutants and carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen
