The three ways that carbon, usually in the form of CO2, enters the atmosphere are:
1. **Respiration** - Organisms, including plants and animals, release CO2 as a byproduct of respiration.
2. **Decay** - The decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
3. **Exhaust from cars** - The combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles releases CO2 as a byproduct.
Photosynthesis, on the other hand, is the process by which plants take in CO2 from the atmosphere, and factory runoff into lakes typically does not contribute to atmospheric CO2 levels.
