How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the air change if earth had plants but no animals or people?

Without humans or animals, very little Co2 would be produced. Most of the worlds Co2 is from burning oil, gas, coal etc. Plants absorb it so the planet would be very healthy and in much cleaner than the way the world is today.

How did the formation of seas and oceans change the amount of carbon dioxide?
The Earth's oceans contain a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the form of bicarbonate and carbonate ions - much more than the amount in the atmosphere.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
What process is causing the carbon cycle to get out of balance?
Mainly by: Our unbridled use of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - the use of which shows no sign of diminishing.
What must be done to carbon dioxide gas to change it to solid?
the cold air can change the carbon dioxide gas to a solid
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if their is no plants?
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.

Is freezing carbon dioxide a chemical change or physical change?
Frozen carbon dioxide is still carbon dioxide, so it is a physical change.
What does respiration change?
Respiration (breathing) changes the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
How does carbon change into carbon dioxide?
When Carbon or any other organic compound udergoes combustion, carbon dioxide is produced alongwith a release of large amount of energy as heat. C + O2 = CO2
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if there were no plants or animals?
Plants and all kinds of vegetation, including grass, trees and rain forests absorb carbon dioxide and store it. About half the weight of a tree is carbon. Trees can store carbon for hundreds of years. Animals, including man, breathe out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon is also released from soil, oceans and from rotting vegetation. This is all part of the natural carbon cycle.One animal, man, adds a lot of extra carbon dioxide every day by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).If there were no trees or plants to remove carbon dioxide, and no animals to breathe out CO2, and no man to burn fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would probably rise very slowly.
When did the carbon-oxygen cycle start to change?
In my own opinion and un-tested hypothesis.... that carbon oxygen cycle start to change when there is no more plants to give oxygen and get carbon dioxide and there is no animals and humans that inhale oxygen and give off or exhale carbon dioxide.
What process is causing the carbon cycle to get out of balance?
Mainly by: Our unbridled use of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - the use of which shows no sign of diminishing.
Which organs are oxygen and carbon dioxide changed?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide change in the lungs.
What must be done to carbon dioxide gas to change it to solid?
the cold air can change the carbon dioxide gas to a solid
