Best Answer

Plants and trees photosynthesise. The equation for this is:

carbon dioxide + water (+ Light energy) = oxygen + glucose

CO2 + H2O = O2 + C6H12O6

The levels of Carbon Dioxide are lowest near a forest is becasue of the process above. There will be more oxygen in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, becasue the plants are photosynthesising.

Why is the amount of carbon dioxide highest during midnight and lowest at 12 noon?

Actually carbon dioxide concentration increases at midnight and decreases at dawn At night the concentration is higher because plants take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide at night so the concentration is higher. At dawn the concentration is lower because, plants breathe in oxygen at daytime and breathe out CO2 so the concentration is lower.


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.


State the function of the structures called stomata that are present in leaf epidermis?

The leaf surface has many tiny apertures called stomata. During respiration oxygen from the atmosphere diffuses into the stomata and then into the cells of the leaf. When carbon dioxide concentration in the cells increases, the stomata opens and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Differences between soil air and atmospheric air?

Soil air has a higher concentration of Carbon Dioxide; plants feed on this and convert it into Oxygen during Osmosis, which is why there is a higher concentration of Oxygen in the atmosphere.
