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.

At night the respiration continues but photosynthesis terminates so result is an increase of carbon dioxide in air.

Why there is difference in the amount of carbon dioxide you inhale and exhale?
The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is always greater than the amount inhaled because part of the oxygen inhaled is converted into carbon dioxide by metabolic processes of digestion, while any carbon dioxide inhaled remains unchanged in the body and is always exhaled again.
Does clearing a forest increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon force?
Respiration
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Where would carbon dioxide concentration be the highest?
The carbon dioxide concentration would be the highest where the oxygen is low.
What does a carbon footprint refer to?
The amount of carbon dioxide a person produces
What gas do we get from plants?
in midnight ... carbon dioxide in the day .. oxygen
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Why there is difference in the amount of carbon dioxide you inhale and exhale?
The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is always greater than the amount inhaled because part of the oxygen inhaled is converted into carbon dioxide by metabolic processes of digestion, while any carbon dioxide inhaled remains unchanged in the body and is always exhaled again.
The highest carbon dioxide concentration will be found where in the body?
alveoli
What does ''carbon footprint'' refer to?
The amount of carbon dioxide a person produces
What is carbon footprinting?
A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terns of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Does an economical car reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
No car can actually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, but an economical car will add less additional carbon dioxide to the air than a less economical one.
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.
Does clearing a forest increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
