$CO_2$ is converted into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Although $CO_2$ is continuously released into the atmosphere through the process of respiration by living organisms,its concentration remains relatively constant due to the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis,green plants and other autotrophs absorb $CO_2$ from the atmosphere and convert it into carbohydrates (glucose) using solar energy. This process acts as a major carbon sink,balancing the $CO_2$ released by respiration and maintaining the atmospheric equilibrium.

If $CO_2$ is released during respiration,why does the concentration of $CO_2$ in the atmosphere remain relatively constant?
