Plants mainly remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They convert this (CO2) through photosynthesis into sugars. Some of these sugars are used to grow more of the plant, others are used as food. When a plant uses the sugars as food, carbon dioxide is emitted as a waste product (just like our breathing). This carbon dioxide is emitted day and night, but because they also take in CO2 during the day, most of this is a nocturnal emission (at night).

∙ 14y agoplants produce Carbon Dioxide as a by-product of photosynthesis. It is a waste product, so they release it via the stomata located on the bottom of the leafs of the plant. Plants can only produce carbon dioxide in the daytime, when the sun is out as that is one of the products they use to initiate photosynthesis.

∙ 14y agoThe following formula represents how a plant uses carbon dioxide in the air and water to produce sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis. The reverse equation represents oxidation or complete combusion. 6H20 + 6C02 = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide may be produced in plants as plants rot or burn and the sugar forms simpler molecules such as alcohol (natural fermentation). Carbon Dioxide may also be produced as sugar is used to build more complicated structures such as large esters (scents). Organic Chemistry should be consult for further detail

∙ 11y agoCarbon dioxide is produced during aerobic respiration and it is released in the air through gaseous exchange. During day time in green plants CO2 is utilized in photosynthesis hence it does not come out in the air.

∙ 12y agoThe Stomata in the plant cells allow carbon dioxide to get in and when there is enough in the Stomata will close.
Carbon dioxide is used to make food for the plant i.e. Photosynthesis

∙ 15y agoPlants don't produce carbon dioxide. They "inhale" carbon dioxide and "exhale" oxygen. This process recycles oxygen and allows animal life to exist.

∙ 13y agoPlants don't give off carbon dioxide, the breathe it in. They release oxygen. by the process of breaking down carbon dioxide CO2 and water into oxygen O2 and carbohydrates.

What is it that Plants and animals take in and then give off?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen Animals take in oxygen and give off 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...
What do animals to give off that plants need?
Animals give off CO2 [carbon dioxide] and they reward us with O2 [oxygen].
How do fish breathe in and breathe out?
Yes they do. Its part of the carbon cycle. When plants give off carbon dioxide, animals breath it in, when they die, scavengers eat them then decomposer breaks the dead carcasses back into the basic materials.
What gas do animals give off in the dark?
It's usually Premium Unleaded, however due to the rise in Oil Prices, they have converted to diesel.
What is it that Plants and animals take in and then give off?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen Animals take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide
What is the Empirical formula for carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide! We give off carbon dioxide, plants give off oxygen. Its one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Why is it important that plants give off carbon dioxide?
I think you have it backwards. Plants actually absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. It's obvious why it's important they give off oxygen.
Where does exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
Outside where plants give off oxygen which we breathe in and we give off carbon dioxide which plants need to survive.
What energy does plants give off?
oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What thing must plants get from animals?
Plants must have carbon dioxide from animals. Animals give off carbon dioxide when they breathe and plants give off oxygen so it's a fair exchange.
Why does cellular respiration adds carbon dioxide to the air but photosynthesis does not?
Because photosynthesis is for plants and plants give off oxygen, not carbon dioxide.
What do we as people give off to plants?
Life giving carbon dioxide.
How does a fox take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide by?
A fox takes in oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide via the carbon dioxide cycle. All plants and animals are part of the carbon dioxide cycle. However, plants do things a little differently and take in carbon dioxide to use for photosynthesis. This results in plants giving off oxygen.
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is given off by plants as they absorb carbon dioxide. It's like how animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, except plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
What does carbon dioxide play for all living things?
CO2 in the atmosphere is necessary for life to exist on Earth. Plants use Carbon Dioxide and give off oxygen to produce food in the process of photosynthesis. Plants and animals give off Carbon Dioxide as a waste product.
What two elements do plants produce?
carbon dioxide and give off the oxygen
