A part of photosynthetically fixed carbon dioxide(CO₂) goes back to the atmosphere due to respiration and decomposition.
Green plants are the main agents of carbon dioxide fixation by the process of photosynthesis. CO₂ goes back into the atmosphere by the process of respiration and decomposition as,
- Plants release CO₂ into the atmosphere as a byproduct during respiration.
- During photosynthesis, they produce simple carbohydrates taking CO₂ from the atmosphere, and water from roots in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
- The stored foods in plants are eaten by the primary consumers and those animals and other organisms release CO₂ into the atmosphere through respiration as well as through animal wastes.
- The organism's dead bodies are decomposed by the action of microbes in the soil to form fossil fuels which in turn are used by industries releasing CO₂ again back into the atmosphere.
