They don't.

Plankton do remove vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Ocean and the atmosphere. By doing this they help to regulate CO2 levels, but they are fighting a losing battle at the moment.

Volcanoes do not regulate CO2 levels. A volcanic eruption releases carbon dioxide, but the amount is very small compared to what man releases by our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, all of which release carbon dioxide.

Does plankton produce carbon dioxide?

Yes. Plankton produce carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.


What is an unknown fact about plankton?

An unknown fact about plankton is that they play a crucial role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converting it into organic matter through photosynthesis. This process helps regulate Earth's climate by sequestering carbon in the deep ocean when plankton die and sink.


How does plankon function?

Plankton takes in carbon dioxide from the sea and stores it in its body. When plankton dies, it still has the carbon dioxide inside it, so has removed some of the problem from the ocean (problem for us). Without plankton, there'd be a lot more carbon dioxide and global warming would be worse.


How can plankton help combat global warming?

Plankton may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What are microscopic ocean plants that absorb carbon dioxide?

Plankton


Do plankton have any requirements for life?

Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight.


What are the two main gases in a volcanoes emit?

Steam, Sulfur dioxide, Carbon Dioxide.


Are they any volcanoes contributing to air pollution?

Most active volcanoes release sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is air pollution


What does blood carbon dioxide regulate?

Blood carbon dioxide levels help regulate the pH of the blood. Carbon dioxide is converted to bicarbonate ions in the blood, which helps maintain the blood's acid-base balance. Changes in blood carbon dioxide levels can result in respiratory and metabolic imbalances.


What are the four most common gasses released by volcanoes?

Water vapour (steam) Sulphur dioxide Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide


What 3 compounds come out of volcanoes which are gases?

The three main gases that come out of volcanoes are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. These gases are released during eruptions and contribute to the volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic clouds.


What does ozone hole has to do with climatic change?

Due to the increase in ozone hole, plankton in the sea are affected. These plankton which absorb carbon dioxide cannot do it further, thus raising carbon dioxide amounts which further leads to global warming that is climate change.
