The two processes that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere are Respiration and the burning of fossil fuels.
- Respiration: It is the process of oxidation of a suitable substrate (most commonly a carbohydrate) to produce energy in the form of ATP molecules.
- This oxidation can happen with the help of oxygen (aerobic respiration) or without oxygen (anaerobic respiration).
- Carbon dioxide is a by-product of the above-mentioned reaction.
- The burning of fossil fuels like coal and methane leads to the evolution of carbon dioxide and water into the atmosphere.
