What do plants do with the oxygen they make from photosynthesis?

The oxygen that plants make is taken up by humans. The humans take the oxygen and transform it into carbon dioxide. When the humans do this then the plants take it and change it back into oxygen. This is a never-ending cycle, without plants, humans and animals would die out, without humans and animals, plants would die out.


Where does the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream take place?

normally the oxygen transfer from the lungs to the cells through haemoglobin in most of the animals. the oxygen transfer occurs in lungs from the atmospheric air.


How are animals and plants different?

Plants use chlorophyll (it's what makes all plants green) to take the energy of sunlight and use it as a source of energy. There are other differences, but the above is the most important.


Why are oxygen and hydrogen so common in animals and on earth.?

For one, oxygen and hydrogen mostly make up organic compounds (the one element you need for an organic compound NO MATTER WHAT, would be carbon). Organic compounds make up every living thing on earth, from tigers to cyanobacteria to mushrooms. That's why H and O are so common in animals. Now for the earth. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, for one. We also need oxygen to breathe and live. Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to produce oxygen, little interesting fact there. Hope this helps!

Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?

Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).


Are animals primary consumers of carbon?

Not really, plants absorb the carbon from their surroundings and herbivores eat the plants and take up the oxygen. Then carnivorous animals eat the herbivores and in turn they also take up carbon.


Which 3 elements are most abundant in the plants and animals that make up the biosphere?

oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.


If you woke up tomorrow and all of the animals on earth were gone what would happen to the amount of oxygen in the air?

if all the animals were gone there would be no carbon dioxide for plants and trees to take in and no oxygen would be produced.

What gas is needed by animals to breathe in?

Animals need AIR to breath in - AIR is made up of about 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. The animals use the Oxygen in the AIR.NOTE if an animal were to breath 100% Oxygen this would eventually kill it, Pure Oxygen is toxic.They need to breath AIR.


How do plant and animals maintain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?

Plants make oxygen and animals use oxygen. Over a couple of billions years, this system has stabilized so that oxygen makes up not quite 1/4 of the air you breath. By far, the most oxygen-producing plants live in the oceans, and include algae, seaweed (See 'Sargasso Sea'), and other similar plants.


Do plant cells use oxygen?

Yes. Plants create oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. The plants take in carbon dioxide that animals and humans breathe, water, and minerals in the soil and produce oxygen and glucose.


How much of the atmosphere does oxygen take up?

21%

How are plants and animals dependent on forests?

To a degree that humans find difficult to understand. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and convert it into oxygen (O2). Animals take in the Oxygen and convert it into carbon dioxide. In addition, plants provide food and shelter for many animals, and the animals can help spread the seeds of a plant, helping it to reproduce.
