Awesome catch! CO2 is produced in very massive amounts by dead plants. As a interesting note, dead and decaying plants produce far more CO2 then man. Many time that of man!
Man produces about 2 to 5% of all CO2. The rest is created by nature. Most of this by plants and animal life that are decaying.
What else can I help you with?
How is co2 in the air useful to plants?
The plants use CO2 from air for photosynthesis. The air entering into its leaves through stomata comes in contact with photosynthetic cells and diffuse CO2 for assimilation to form carbohydrates.
Why would an increase in CO2 cause a plant to grow faster?
Plants grow better if the amount of carbon dioxide in the air increases because plants breathe in carbon dioxide in order to use it in their life process. Plants expel oxygen, and people expel carbon dioxide, plants and people are one of natures perfect symbiotic relationships.
When will the air be full of carbon dioxide such that humans would not take in enough oxygen?
The air contains around 0.04% CO2. Plants absorb carbon dioxide, ehich they use in photosynthesis. Without the plants, there would be no life on earth. Algae also absorb CO2 to make their food. Without both the plants abd the algae, both the atmosphere and hydrosphere (seas and oceans) would be anoxic.
What will happen if the build up of carbon dioxide in the air is a lot faster than the rate of consumption of the plants?
There will be more and more carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Plants (grass, trees and all vegetation) absorb CO2 out of the air and store it. If the CO2 build up is faster than the plants' consumption then there will be more CO2 in the atmosphere. The CO2 will hold more and more heat from the sun, and earth will get warmer and warmer.
Where do plants obtain the carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis?
Plants get Carbon Dioxide from the air, or actually, from animals and people that breath it into the air. Because plants produce Oxygen, animals and humans breath in the Oxygen, and breath out CO2, into the air. So, plants use this element in photosynthesis.
How plants help to maintain the percentage of gases in air?
They reduce CO2 and increase O2.
How do plants help in maintaining the percentage of gases in air?
They reduce CO2 and increase O2.
How do you increase amount of carbon dioxide in greenhouse?
Simplest would be to remove any plants from the greenhouse, then spend some time in there yourself. Plants remove CO2 from the air, while your breathing would introduce CO2 into the air. If you are dead set on keeping your plants in the greenhouse (weird, I know), then most things that burn or decompose will add some form of CO2 to the air. Out of curiousity; why would you want higher levels of CO2?

How do people increase CO2 in the air?
by breathing out
Why would an increase in CO2 cause a plant to grow faster?

What would you expect to happen to the carbon dioxide levels in the air at night compared to during the day?
At night, carbon dioxide levels in the air tend to increase compared to during the day. This is primarily because photosynthesis, which absorbs CO2, ceases in plants after sunset, while respiration processes in both plants and animals continue to release CO2. Additionally, cooler nighttime temperatures can lead to more stable air layers, potentially trapping CO2 closer to the ground. Overall, the balance shifts toward higher CO2 concentrations at night.
What would happen if CO2 in air increases?
Too much carbon dioxide would cause a greenhouse effect, the Earth would trap all the heat from the sun killing all the plants and life on Earth. The Earth would become like the planet Venus. Just the right amount would be beneficial to plants because plants take in CO2 and release oxygen.
How can you get CO2 out of the air?
CO2 can be removed from the air through natural processes like photosynthesis by plants, algae, and trees, which absorb CO2 and release oxygen. Additionally, carbon capture and storage technologies can be used to capture CO2 emissions from industrial processes or power plants before releasing them into the atmosphere.
How can we convert CO2 to O2 to help mitigate climate change and improve air quality?
One way to convert CO2 to O2 to help mitigate climate change and improve air quality is through the process of photosynthesis. Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and release oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis. Increasing the number of plants and trees can help remove CO2 from the air and increase the amount of oxygen available, which can have a positive impact on both climate change and air quality.
What takes co2 out of the air?
Plants help remove CO2 from the air through the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, the oceans absorb and store large amounts of CO2, acting as a carbon sink. Some processes involving chemical reactions or technology can also capture and store CO2 emissions from the air.
