s g l a is encased in glass, w hile t he

call it t he 'greenhouse ef f ect '.

The amount of carbon dioxide in t he air is only .0 3 % ,yet all plant s and animals lif e depend on it .
Thee percent age of carbon dioxide in t he air is kept almost const ant by a series of nat ural
processes. We call it t he carbon or carbon dioxide cycle

The main w ay a
g
in w hich carbon dioxide is removed f rom t he at mosphere is by phot osynt hesis. It is
a process by w hich green plant s, w it h t he help of sunlight , break up carbon dioxide int o carbon
and oxygen. Carbon is ret ained by t he plant s as t heir f ood ,and t hey set f ree oxygen f or t he use
of animals. All animals depend, direct ly or indirect ly, on plant s f or t heir f ood. And all plant s ,in
t urn ,depend on carbon dioxide breat hed out by animals

Carbon dioxide is removed f rom t he at mosphere by w at er also. This gas is moderat ely,soluble in
w at er. This our rivers, lakes and seas also t ake up a lot of carbon dioxide f rom t he air . Wat er
m
.co
animals use t his dissolved carbon dioxide t o make t heir shells . When t hese animals breat he or
