Oxygen is supplied to the atmosphere by what?
Plants
What gas is released into the atmosphere by plants?
Oxygen. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and prepare food with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll. Carbon Dioxide is vital ingredient in the process of photosynthesis. Plants do not require Oxygen and so liberate Oxygen to the atmosphere which is used by other organisms for respiration.
How did the oxygen in your atmosphere get there?
The way the oxygen got into our atmosphere is when the green plants do photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to make glucose and of course oxygen. After a while, the plants did enough photosynthesis that the earth got an atmosphere .
What life process put oxygen into the atmosphere?
plants do it by photosynthesis. And animals do it by respiration
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.
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).
Where the animals get the oxygen they need?
Land animals get the oxygen they need from the atmosphere. Most aquatic organisms get oxygen dissolved in the water in which they live, and others, like alligators and crocodiles, get oxygen from the atmosphere. Most Plants Give Out Oxygen, And Plants Are All Around Us.
How plants and animals help each other in exchangingof gases in the atmosphere?
Plants give out Oxygen. Animals give out Carbon Dioxide. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide, Animals take in Oxygen.
How do plants give oxegyn?
plants take the carbon dioxide that is exhaled by humans and animals and turn it into oxygen. they then release it into the atmosphere. humans and animals inhale the oxygen and the cycle is repeated.
How is the oxygen in the atmosphere replaced?
Through oxygen cycle. Humans and animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This ways the oxygen is circulated in the atmosphere.
Why isn't the oxygen in the earths atmosphere used up by the breathing of humans and other animals?
It is constantly being replenished by plants, from the giant 100mtr trees to the tiny algae. These plants convert, by photo-synthesis, the carbon-dioxide breathed out by animals back into oxygen in the atmosphere.
Why do most plants and animals need oxygen to survive?
Although plants to use oxygen, they emit unneeded oxygen into the atmosphere. This helps to replenish oxygen supplies for other organisms.
How much do plants and animals depend on earths atmosphere?
If there were no atmosphere, there would be no plants and animals.
What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
How do plants MOST likely change the atmosphere in a way that is beneficial for animals?
When animals exhale, they release a gas called Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which can be lethal to animals if the gas is present in large quantities. Through the process of photosynthesis plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a byproduct. This helps animals because they need oxygen in order to breathe.
Gas given off by plants that is needed by animals?
:v
What do plants give to the atmosphere?
Plants produce oxygen.
