Question

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by respiration.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$:

• Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$ is a chemical element that can be found in the atmosphere. At room temperature, it is a gas. It has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. When people and animals exhale, carbon dioxide is released.
• Plants, like animals, take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide during respiration. Only during photosynthesis do plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct.
• Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.

Thus, the given statement is False. i.e., Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by respiration.
