Why does the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere goes down during the summer months?

The amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide follows a slow upward trend, superimposed by a saw-tooth pattern with a peak during the northern hemisphere summer and a low during the northern hemisphere winter. These short term fluctuations are due to the vigorous growth of plants during the warmer months. The sourthern hemisphere does not balance this effect because many of its evergreen trees continue to grow all year around, and because of the smaller land area.

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is regulated by?
Plants play the biggest role in regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They do so by using it during photosynthesis and release oxygen.
Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxideCarbon Dioxide
What is added to the atmosphere during resiration?
Carbon dioxide
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere changing if there were no plants?
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.
When carbon is released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when you breathe during the process of?
photosynthesis
What gas does a plant take from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle?
carbon dioxide
How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change of theres no plants?
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere
Where are carbon dioxide and water excreted during exhalation?
In the atmosphere .
During the carbon cycle in what form are carbon atoms generally returned to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide gas.
What relese during respiration?
When you exhale, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
