How plants breathe?

They 'breathe' through the stomata on both surfaces of the leaf. The stomata are extremely tiny 'holes' that you can only see under a microscope. They are usually found on the underside of the leaves.


Should plants breath in oxygen or carbon dioxide at night?

No,I dont tink that it's bad,because what is another way we could breathe in and breath out


How do stomata help a plant eliminate waste?

Stomata are small openings on the leaves of plants that allow for gas exchange. While their primary function is to facilitate the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, they also help in eliminating waste by releasing oxygen and water vapor as byproducts of photosynthesis. This process of transpiration allows plants to get rid of excess water and oxygen while also regulating temperature.


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...


Why water lily has stomata on the upper side of leaves?

Because they are water plants they get enough water, unlike say the xerophytes which dont(and so their stomata is on the lower surface to minimise the loss of water) and because they get more than enough water they would want to get rid of it more easily so stomata are on the upper surface!


Do decomposition give out carbon dioxide?

yes because animals/plants are made up of carbons and mixed with oxygen in the air make Carbon dioxide... so they dont give out C02 but give out carbon in order to make C02


Plants use what compound in photosynthesis to make carbohydrates?

I am not positive, but I think they are sunlight, air, water and ???? sorry i dont know the last answer


Do you pass carbon dioxide through the rectum?

No you dont. Carbon dioxide contains 1 part carbon 2parts oxygen. You dont put out oxygen only carbon.


Why can't animals make food from carbon dioxide water like plants do?

animals use the energy to move around and plants dont use the energy


How do you take carbon dioxide?

You dont you release it


What does carbon dioxide and copper make?

copper is a metal and carbon dioxide is a gas so therefore dont mix


What is the byproduct of respiration?

False Co2...carbon dioxide (dont read this if u dont want to) there are different forms of respiration, aerobic respiration= oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide+ water (+energy) anaerobic respiration=
