CO2 is released as part of an exothermic (energy-yielding) reaction. Thus, to turn it into something else would take the same, or more energy than you got originally by burning it.

The most efficient reaction to yield 02 from c02 is:

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

(Photosynthesis)

However, there are many other chemical reactions to do the same thing, many of which ave been explored. The best solution appears to be to collect C02 from of the atmosphere and convert it into petroleum products (such as fuels) therefore reducing the need for more fossil fuels to be burned or used while creating a product in the process, such as plastics. This has also been explored an demonstrated.

Fortunately nature has it's own mechanisms for mediating c02 levels. 'Global Warming" is a natural cycle which ends in global cooling, humanity does have the potential to overwhelm the current setup, however, but not unless our output at least doubles. Water vaper is the most abundant and acting greenhouse gas. If you do a Google search for converting c02 into 02 you will find several processes which you might be able to power with heat produced from solar panels, but you regardless of how you do it, you'll still be forming some kind of other waste that may or may not be useful, where that cycle of reusing products end is up to you. Good luck, but I would just plant some trees instead. The higher the C02 concentration, the larger the plant can grow (as with the opposite in insects and probably animals), and the more C02 it will remove. Currently the ocean removes the most C02, the vast majority of which is not produced by humans, but it's total consumption is close to being overwhelmed by our own output.

How do plants maintain the balance of o2 and co2 in the atmosphere?

Plants convert CO2 to O2 in air. The green pigment in their leaves is due mainly to chloroplasts. These help to absorb light and use this energy to convert CO2 back to O2 (a thermodynamically unfavourable reaction)

Why is o2 and co2 considered a fluid?

O2 and CO2 are gases at rtp. As all gases and liquids are fluids, O2 and CO2 are considered fluids.


What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?

When ther is a higher concentration of O2 than CO2, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2.


How are chloroplasts related to the function of the leaf cells?

That's where the leaf uses sunlight to convert air (CO2) and water into sugar (and O2).
