When there is not enough sunlight for photosynthesis, plants will primarily use cellular respiration for their energy, as animals do. This adds carbon back into the atmosphere, the reverse of photosynthesis that removes carbon.
Also, when plants die, their remains decompose and can release carbon compounds such as methane.
What else can I help you with?
Do plants suck the oxygen out of the air in houses?
No, actually plants are producers of oxygen. They intake carbon dioxide (which we exhale) and then add oxygen to the house's air.
Where do plants obtain carbon for photosynthesis?
Plants obtain carbon for photosynthesis from carbon dioxide in the air.
Where do plants get carbon to make glucose?
the air is constantly getting in and out of the water.
Can plants help us breathe?
Plants take in carbon dioxide (which we breath out) and turn it into oxygen (which we need to live). Plants scrub CO2 from the air, add O2 to the air. So they make animal life possible (including people).
Why could you that plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
What is the carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide is a air which comes from the plants
How does plants get carbon if they can't get it from fertilizers?
From the air. Carbon dioxide.
How do living things add carbon to the air?
Living things release carbon dioxide into the air through processes like respiration, decomposition, and combustion. Plants also release carbon dioxide through respiration, but they can also absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis.
Why could you say plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
Why could you say that plants are a sink to carbon?
Plants take in carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air, and convert it to carbohydrates and store it.
Why could you say that plants are sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
How do plants help in returning carbon in the air?
plants return carbon dioxide back in the air by the process Photosynthesis. Thanks hope you like =))
