Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which increases the amount of available carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. However, it also increases the amount of carbon dioxide available for respiration by organisms, including humans. As a result, the balance between photosynthesis and respiration is altered, leading to an overall increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
