As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rise, the temperature of the Earth rises. As the Earth warms the rate of photosynthesis in plants increases, more carbon dioxide is therefore removed from the atmosphere by plants, reducing the greenhouse effect and reducing global temperatures.

- 20. Multiple Choice
Plants use sunlight to go through photosynthesis. Animals take in oxygen through this process and consume glucose. As a byproduct of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide and water are given off from the animal. The carbon dioxide and water are then used by plants to go through photosynthesis.
