Question

zale101 · Answer

there's a lot of process that causes carbon to get released into the atmosphere...

anonymous · Answer

respiration, combustion and photosynthesis

somy · Answer

i agree with respiration and combustion (of organic compounds), but photosynthesis is Not releasing CO2, instead it uses CO2 to combine with water to form glucose, also decomposition partially does release C but not into atmosphere

anonymous · Answer

during photosynthesis the cells that carry out the process use energy! and where does that energy come from?....respiration. and what else is released during respiration?....CO2.

somy · Answer

yes thats right, but the C is still Not released From photosynthesis, its used instead

anonymous · Answer

Ok you're right lest just say it takes in more than it releases!:) ok ?
