Answer:

•Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Cellular respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

In this way it release the carbon dioxide back into atmosphere.
