Nitrogen fertilizer production converts nitrogen from the atmosphere into urea, a form of nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main macronutrient used by plants, i.e, the main component of fertilizers (the others are potassium and phosphorus). The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Google the nobel prize-winning Haber-Bosch process. The two scientists identified a method of using enormous amounts of heat and pressure to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable to plants. And there's the source of your answer: the required heat and pressure is usually generated by natural gas, which gives off CO2 when combusted. Without the increased plant growth that the Haber-Bosch process enabled, the planet would probably be unable to support more than a couple billion fewer people than it does now. But good luck nailing that number down--estimates are all over the place, and for good reason. For example, without nitrogen fertilizer and with the food scarcities that scenario would create, would we be converting as much grain into livestock? Would we be burning it as fuel in our cars? Would we have better agriculture technology or better management if prices were higher? You get the picture. There is a small dark side to this. When overapplied, nitrogen fertilizer emits nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, and pollutes surface and groundwater. Google the U.S. Gulf "dead zone".
Fertilizer contributes to carbon dioxide production through a process called nitrification. When fertilizers containing nitrogen are applied to soil, certain bacteria convert the nitrogen into nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. This conversion process releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct, adding to the overall carbon footprint.
The gas that is necessary for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide has a chemical reaction with the water and sunlight to create glucose.

Yes, carbon dioxide and nitrogen can be combined to form nitrous oxide (N2O) in the presence of energy. This reaction is usually carried out in industrial settings for various applications, such as in the production of nitrogen fertilizer.
Carbon dioxide gas is what makes the bubbles in soda pop. When the soda is carbonated, carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid under pressure. When the pressure is released (such as when you open the bottle), the carbon dioxide gas is released, forming bubbles.
Carbon dioxide create the carbonic acid - H2CO3.

Many organic chemicals when combusted in oxygen can create Carbon dioxide and water
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Animal and plants create carbon dioxide when they perform cellular respiration. Decaying vegetation forms carbon dioxide through fermentation, wherein fungi oxidize carbohydrates.
The gas to create bubbles in the cola is carbon dioxide.

you can make carbon dioxide every time you exhale or take one carbon atom and mix 2 oxygen atoms.
No, wave energy does not directly create carbon dioxide. It is a renewable energy source that generates electricity using the kinetic energy of ocean waves, which is clean and does not produce carbon dioxide emissions during operation.
The process is called photosynthesis.
