Yes. Water vapor and carbon dioxide form layers in the atmosphere, absorbing heat (infrared radiation) near the Earth instead of allowing it to go off into space. You can experience it yourself by comparing the temperature during an overcast night with the temperature on a clear night.
(This is one reason a desert can be hot in the daytime but extremely cold at night, as there are few clouds and little water vapor to trap the Earth's re-radiated energy.)
When carbon dioxide and water vapor acts like a blanket over the earth there is fog in the low lying areas. This occurs when the warm air gets trapped by colder air above.
Carbon dioxide and water vapor is a greenhouse gas which helps to prevent oxygen from escaping from earth as it traps some of the Earth's heat close to the surface.
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Almost all fuel used to create energy (coal, oil, gas) causes carbon dioxide emissions, therefore not using aka saving energy will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nature produces most of the carbon dioxide. Man produces about 6% of all CO2 produced. Much of this by items that would otherwise rot and create CO2 naturally.
Clouds can have a cooling albedo effect, reflecting incoming energy. They can also have a warming effect, when they prevent energy escaping into space.
Yes
Carbon monoxide binds very tightly to heme; carbon dioxide does not. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous per se, but it's not harmless either; concentrations of carbon dioxide above 20% or so are pretty bad for you even if there's also plenty of oxygen to breathe.

A gas that traps solar energy is called a greenhouse gas. The main ones are water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. They trap the infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
the products of respiration are energy,carbon dioxide,and
We humans burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Energy from the Sun warms the Earth's surface via short-wave radiation. Some of this energy is reflected back as long-wave radiation.Carbon dioxide, water vapour and other gases prevent this long-wave solar radiation escaping from the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect, and it is thought to be the primary cause of Global Warming.Hope this helps. :)
the energy source is sun. Pigments absorbing energy.
Photosynthesis is the process that produces water, carbon dioxide and energy.
A photoautotroph gets its energy initially from light, and its carbon from carbon dioxide.
The Carbon source for photosynthesis is the air
gluglose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water+atp(energy)gluglose+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water+atp(energy)
The carbon dioxide in the soda starts to escape. Water can hold only small amounts of carbon dioxide, carbonating a drink is forcing about 10,000 times the norm into the drink so when it is exposed to a normal pressure environment the carbon dioxide starts escaping.
