Carbon dioxide is the source of the food that plants make for themselves through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is when plants make food out of gasses (such as Carbon dioxide). When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is higher, plants become more efficient in pulling the gas out of the air. This allows the plants to process the gas more quickly. Faster conversion of carbon dioxide into sugars and other organic materials translates into faster plant growth. There are many plants that won't benefit from higher carbon dioxide concentrations. These plants have certain tissues in their leaves that concentrate carbon dioxide over time. Since the gas is already concentrated inside the plant, a higher availability of carbon dioxide in the air won't make a difference. (McGill)
What else can I help you with?
What are the factors that affect plant growth?
Light, water, carbon dioxide.
Does Carbon Dioxide Affect Plant health?
If it affects the availability of Oxygen then yes, otherwise no
How does oil affect the stoma?
it clogs the stomata preventing carbon dioxide to enter the plant. Carbon dioxide is necessary because it is part of the photosynthesis process. amen.
What do plant inhale?
carbon dioxide
What gas plant do produce that animal use?
carbon dioxide that plant use
Why does the carbon dioxide level fluctuate during a single year?
The carbon dioxide level fluctuates during a single year due to seasonal changes in plant growth and decay, which affect the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed and released into the atmosphere.
In what form is carbon Dioxide taken by plant to produce their food?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed as a gas by the leaves of the plant.
Does carbon dioxide affect humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
What do the chloroplasts of a green plant use carbon dioxide for?
Carbon dioxide is the source of carbon. It is reduced to glucose
What organisms eats carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a vapor, as it can not be eaten, but plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen all plant types do this, so hopefully, in answer to your question, all plant species absorbs carbon dioxide.
Where does the plant get the carbon to make plant structures?
For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
What happens to carbon dioxide in a plant when it dies?
When a plant dies, the carbon stored in its tissues is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the process of decomposition. Microorganisms break down the plant material, releasing the carbon dioxide that was stored during the plant's lifetime. This contributes to the carbon cycle by returning carbon from the plant back to the atmosphere.
