because if we do not have the oxygen and carbon dioxide we cannot live to this environment it is important because it is our body needs and for the circulation of our breaths through our hearts and lungs

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).
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.
What does respiration make?
animals: carbon dioxide plants: oxygen
Can plants provide carbon dioxide to animals?
Uh plants provide Oxygen first of all. And animals are mammals with lungs which exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide just like humans.
Do plants and animals use carbon dioxide?
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 do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Do plants and animals release carbon dioxide?
Animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide-oxygen?
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human

Which gas do animals remove from the air?
The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.
What is the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
The carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle is the cycle in which living things (such as plants and animals) take in "oxygen" and let out "carbon dioxide."
What are the 2 important functions of flower?
providing oxygen becuase we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide and the plants need carbon dioxide to provide oxygen. Also they provide food for wild animals
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...

Where does the oxygen go when it leaves the animal?
Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Do animals breath off carbon dioxide?
Animals exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen just as humans do.
