No. Carbon Dioxide is used in the process of Photosynthesis to make a byproduct of Oxygen, but Oxygen isn't needed for this process.
Photosynthesis equation:
sunlight
Carbon Dioxide + Water------------->Glucose + Oxygen
chlorophyll
P.S- Sunlight and Chlorophyll are needed in the reaction but they aren't products ( Carbon Dioxide and Water are raw materials and Glucose and Oxygen are products) so when you are writing the formulae they sit on the arrow :)
Plants use oxygen during respiration and release carbondioxide. During photosynthesis oxygen is used and carbondioxide is released. Thus they use both the gases to make the air.

How does plants and animals use carbon dioxide and oxygen in different ways?
Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere by breaking CO2 apart and releasing the oxygen during photosynthesis. Animals eat the plants, excrete an undigested portion of the carbon, and exhale the rest through respiration of the carbon with atmospheric oxygen (or in the case of marine animals--oxygen dissolved in water).
Plants need carbon dioxide?
Yes... Plants really need carbon dioxide for they use it for photosynthesis.
How do carbon and oxygen cycles interact to keep animals alive?
Carbon and oxygen cycles interact to keep animals alive because animals use the oxygen cycle to realease the energy they make and animals use carbon cycles to produce sugars, animals and organisms break down these sugars to obtain energy, they produce water and carbon dioxide hope this helped!!!!
How does oxygen cycle through an ecosystem?
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by plants for use in photosynthesis to make sugars. During the process of photosynthesis, some oxygen is made as a byproduct. This oxygen is then inhaled by animals. Animals exchange oxygen in the air for carbon dioxide. Then the cycle starts over again.
Is carbon dioxide a waste product of photosynthesis?
An example is carbon dioxide being emitted from car exhausts. Hope that helped.
What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?
animals and people breath out carbon dioxide and plants use carbon dioxide
What gas to plants release into the air that animals use to start respiration?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is exhaled by animals and needed by plants for photosynthesis.
What do animals breathe out that plants use for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
How do plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in atmosphere?
During the process of photosynthesis release oxygen and animals (we) inhale oxygen and release carbondioxide. This is how plants and animals depend on each other by symbiosys. Hope that helps...

Who are the users of oxygen?
All animals and plants. Plants use oxygen as well as carbon dioxide.
What gas plant do produce that animal use?
carbon dioxide that plant use
Why do plants have a constant source of Carbon Dioxide?
The atmosphere and animals breathe out carbon dioxide that plants can use, but it's also partially because plants have mitochondria as well, and by performing cellular respiration they can make carbon dioxide of their own.
How plants and animals are interdependent to each other?
Plants produce oxygen, which animals use to breathe, from carbon dioxide, which the plants use to carry out their life processes.
What happens to the carbon when plants are eaten by animals?
Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.
What do plants take from animals?
Plants and animals have a synergistic existence, meaning that they benefit from each other in their survival. When animals breathe in air, their bodies remove the air's oxygen and use it for fuel. When they breathe out, they breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants love carbon dioxide. They take it and convert it back to oxygen which they then disperse into the air for animals to breathe. Your answer is "carbon dioxide".
Why can't animals make food from carbon dioxide water like plants do?
animals use the energy to move around and plants dont use the energy
