The excess amount of $CO_2$:

Assertion : The atmospheric concentration of $CO_2$ at which photosynthesis just compensates for respiration is referred to as $CO_2$ compensation point.
Reason : The $CO_2$ compensation point is reached when the amount of $CO_2$ uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of $CO_2$ in the atmosphere is more than that required for achieving $CO_2$ compensation point.
