Question 29

Atmosphere

Answer 29

During cellular respiration, the inorganic byproduct CO2 is produced and released into the atmosphere. Photosynthetic organisms, such as plants, acquire inorganic CO2 from the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, increase the overall temperature of the atmosphere by trapping and holding heat energy before releasing it into space. This is known as the greenhouse effect. Without it, the daily temperature would be much lower and nights would be unbearably cold. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are vastly important as they allow for the ability to inhabit the Earth.
