Show transcript
Combustion increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration of living things increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Photosynthesis by plants, phytoplankton and some bacteria reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide can dissolve in the oceans.
