How do living things add carbon to the air?

Living things release carbon dioxide into the air through processes like respiration, decomposition, and combustion. Plants also release carbon dioxide through respiration, but they can also absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis.


What substance returns to air through the process of cellular respiration?

The substance that returns to the air through the process of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The carbon dioxide produced is released into the air when we exhale.


What does cellular respiration remove from the air?

Cellular respiration removes oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.


What process is breathing carbon dioxide?

Respiration. We breathe in oxygen, and return carbon dioxide to the air.


What natural process adds carbon dioxide to the air?

Decaying organic life emits a large portion. Naturally occurring fires also add a great amount of carbon dioxide. Natural respiration of animal life also gives off carbon dioxide. In total natural processes make up 94% of all carbon emissions.


Does cellular respiration remove cardon dioxide from the air?

No, cellular respiration actually releases carbon dioxide into the air as a byproduct of breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Plants, on the other hand, remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis.


What process do organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

Organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the process of respiration. During respiration, organisms break down organic molecules to release energy, producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct that is then released into the air.


Does respiration uses carbon dioxide and produce oxygen and energy?

No, respiration is the exchange of gases between the body and the external environment.


Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?

You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.


What processes add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

Combustion of fossil fuels and aerobic respiration in living cells are two processes that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.Usage of Carbon containing fuels and Respiration


Why does expired air contain more carbon dioxide than inspired air?

I did not quite get this, but if this helps, good. ( this is from my biology book)"Carbon dioxide is made by cells as a waste product of respiration, and is released across the gaseous exchange surface"


Which molecules are the products of aerobic respiration?

Carbon dioxide, water and energy are produced by aerobic respiration. The word equation for aerobic respiration is: Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy Energy and lactic acid are produced by anerobic respiration The word equation for anaerobic respiration is: Glucose --> energy + lactic acid
