IAnother chemical reaction is called photosynthesis. Through this process, plants use solar energy to turn atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbohydrates (sugars). Organisms use these carbohydrates through the process of respiration (mentioned above).

Energy (sunlight) + 6CO2 + H2O ⇒ C6H12O6 + 6O2

It is a double replacement this reaction occurring.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVOLVED

How has increased the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere

The pollution created by burned fossils, like gasoline.

Things we have to do...

Well we have to save our planet and we have to learn to take care of it and we have to stop or decrease the pollution we as humans make, like burning fossil fuels, and stuff like that. We also have to make campaigns to clean the streets and pick all garbage because that makes our planet pollution.
