Plant use carbon-dioxide for respiration. They absorb the carbon molecules and release the oxygen molecules into the air.

Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.


What 2 processess that occur in plants help move carbon and oxygen though an ecosystem?

photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and take up carbon, while respiration in plant mitochondria takes up oxygen and produce carbon (meaning CO2 from metabolism of sugars etc; CO2 is not produced by respiration but it is very closely linked to CO2 production.)


How plants give out oxygen during respiration?

Oxygen is a by-product of using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to glucose. It takes in oxygen at night though which is because there is no sunlight at night and to replace this, the plants uses O2.


How are aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are related?

They can be thought of as the 'reverse' of each other (though their repective biochemical pathways are in no ways similar) and are the two halves of the carbon cycle. Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose +Oxygen


Why do the dead need oxygen?

We don't know !!!! But i think the "dead" does not need oxygen though


How does respiration work in plants?

In plants, respiration involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy for cellular functions. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria of plant cells. During respiration, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct.


How do plants release carbon into the atmosphere?

No plants release oxygen


Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?

Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.


What will happen if plants will die?

The plants will happily live on. Plants do not need animals to live, though animals must have plants. Plants can produce both oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without animals to spread their pollen, however, some plants would have to find new ways to reproduce.


What is the product produced through cellular respiration that stores energy for the body?

...I don't think respiration creates a product that stores energy. Respiration is the process of using stored energy(glucose) along with oxygen to release energy for bodily use. Photosynthesis stores glucose as a product, but that's only for plants - plants can also respire though mind you, at night for example. -.- hope that helps!


How are photosynthesis and respirations are alike?

Answer: Davidmt1: They're opposites. Resperation takes in oxygen uses it to produce energy and then releases carbon dioxide. While photosynthesis draws in carbon dioxide uses it too produce energy then releases oxygen. So even though they both create energy their processes are opposites.


Why does cellular respiration happen in both animals and plants?

Cellular respiration isn't the same thing as regular human respiration (most of us use the words "breathing" and "respiration" interchangeably, even though biologists use the term "respiration" to mean something a little different). Cellular respiration is when living cells convert fuel - either oxygen or sunlight- into energy that they can use. For example, cellular respiration in humans is the process by which oxygen used to power the synthesis of ATP (ATP is a high-energy molecule that our cells depend on to survive). Plants use a similar process to convert the energy of the sun into building blocks they can use.
