Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide does not leave the atmosphere into space, but rather back to the earth and the oceans. Much of it is taken up by plants through photosynthesis, while much of the remainder is taken up by oceans. Oceans, however, also outgas a considerable amount, so it is not just a one-way transport.
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
Carbon is taken from atmosphere. It is the main source

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 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.
Respiration. Oxygen is taken in and used by the muscle along with glucose. The product of this reaction is Carbon dioxide
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
carbon dioxide is taken in through the leaves and is then used in the process of photosynthesis to make food for the plant.
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Carbon dioxide that has been taken out of the atmosphere and trapped inside oceans, sedimentary rocks, volcanoes etc. from billions and billions of years ago :)
Carbon can enter the atmosphere. It moves in and out of the atmosphere through the earth's regular carbon cycle.What it can not do is enter as pure carbon. Carbon is a solid in it's natural state and solids fall out of our atmosphere. Carbon must mix with a gas, such as oxygen, to create another gas, carbon dioxide, to enter the atmosphere.
Great blooms of oceanic algae, or phytoplankton, take carbon out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis. It is then taken deep into ocean with them when they die. Scientists say that this helped cool the earth during the ice ages by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it at the ocean floor, where it cannot be recycled back into the atmosphere.
