Answer:

Slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere is discussed below.

Explanation:

  • Existence trees also extract carbon dioxide from the environment through photosynthesis and the method of 'slash and burn' efficiently reduces their carbon-capturing participation in enhancing environment development.
  • The direct origins of rainforest devastation are cleared. The principal reasons for total removal are cultivation and in more temperate regions, fuelwood acquisition.

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.

<span>AUTOTROPH 1. an organism that can make its own food

Plants like algae are autotrophs. They produce their own food with the use of light, carbon dioxide, water, and other chemicals that are vital in their food producing activity. Aside from plants, there are autotroph organisms. An example of this is phytoplanktons. 

CALVIN CYCLE 2. the dark reaction process of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carbohydrates

The Calvin Cycle has three phases. These are 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reactions, and 3) RuBP regeneration. 
This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and it converts carbon dioxide and other chemical compounds into glucose.

CAROTENOID PIGMENT 3. a pigment ranging in color from yellow to red; helpful in capturing the Sun's light energy for use in photosynthesis

Carotenoid is a plant pigment. It produces yellow, orange, and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. Carotenoid pigment is identified as a class of phytonutrients that benefits human health. People who consumes carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables enjoys the antioxidant property of the food as well as the Vitamin A that some carotenoid convert into. 

CHLOROPHYLL 4. a green pigment in plants that serves to trap the Sun's energy for photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is the combination of two Greek words "chloros" and "phyllon" which means green and leaf respectively. This pigment also contributes to human wellness as consumption of plants rich in chlorophyll are proven to be very healthy. These health benefits are 1) helps fight cancer, 2) improves liver detoxification, 3) speeds up the healing of wounds, 4) improves digestion and helps control weight, and 5) protects skin from skin virus like cold sores.

CHLOROPLAST 5. the tiny body that contains chlorophyll; part of the cell in which photosynthesis takes place

Chloroplast is a type of plastid that can be distinguished from other plastids due to its green color. Chloroplast is the only plastid that contains chlorophylls a and b, thus its green color. 

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6. a process that involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the production of glucose and oxygen using the Sun's energy

RADIATION 7. transfer of heat or energy through rays of various wavelengths

</span><span>Radiation is defined as energy travelling through space. Sunshine or sunlight is an example of radiation. Its ultra violet rays radiates heat on the earths' surface which in turn helps our autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.
