Why does the total amount of $CO _2$ in the atmosphere remains constant even though respiration liberates $CO _2$?

  1. $CO _2$ acts as a buffer
  2. $CO _2$ is converted to carbohydrates in photosynthesis
  3. $CO _2$ forms carbonic acid
  4. $CO _2$ undergoes cleavage during photosynthesis.

B Correct answer
Explanation
Most organisms release or exhale $CO _2$ during respiration. This $CO _2$  present in the environment is utilized by plants in the process of photosynthesis with the final product being a carbohydrate. This is how the amount of $CO _2$  in the atmosphere is kept under check.
So, the correct answer is '$CO _2$  is converted to carbohydrates in photosynthesis'.
