While Carbon Dioxide is heavier than Oxygen (and therefore greater in mass) Oxygen is great for breathing in, in order to stay alive, while Carbon Dioxide is great because trees recycle it through photosynthesis and put out oxygen for humans and animals to keep breathing

What is CO2 o2 cycle?

The flow of these 2 gases( Carbon dioxide & Oxygen) through Earth's ecosystems is called the Carbon dioxide - Oxygen cycle. Carbon dioxide and Oxygen are present in the atmosphere as gases. They also are dissolved in world's fresh and salt water.

Carbon Dioxide


Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?

No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.


What is carbon dixiode used for?

Carbon dioxide is used for a great many things in the world. Plants for example need carbon dioxide in order to breathe.


What is the biological process that contributes oxygen to the?

photosynthesis : carbon dioxide + water --> oxygen + glucose this is how plants get the glucose and are "the lungs of the world".


Why are trees good for the world?

Because if trees don't exist, there would'nt be any life on earth. think of it this way, you breath out carbon dioxide, and plants take in the carbon dioxide and GIVE OUT OXYGEN. So no oxygen no life.

How does the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle balance?

Carbon-dioxide and oxygen is balanced in nature by plants, animals, and other organism(but mostly plants and animals).In the day we know plants inhale carbon-dioxide and us humans and animals exhale carbon-dioxide.So plants take in CO2(carbon-dioxide). Then the plants give out O2(oxygen) and we inhale it. In the night there is no sunlight for photosynthesis. So the plants take in O2(so do humans). So in the morning the carbon-dioxide exhaled by plants and animals at night are taken in by plants and given out by us.I think plants absorb a vast amount of CO2 for photosynthesis so that's why the balance of oxygen and carbon-dioxide remains the same in Nature.


Why are nitrogen oxygen and carbon dioxide important to marine organisms?

Nitrogen is important for marine organisms because it is a key component of amino acids and proteins. Oxygen is vital for respiration in marine organisms, enabling them to extract energy from food. Carbon dioxide is involved in photosynthesis, where marine organisms like phytoplankton use it to produce energy and oxygen.


What gas do plants release to the air?

Plants take in CO2 (carbon dioxide) and create and emit O2 (oxygen)Plants are an important part of the world, they help to keep us alive. The Best known gas released by plants is oxygen. They do also release carbon dioxide and water vapor.


What two cellular processes are involved in the oxygen carbon cycle?

Photosynthesis and respiration are the two cellular processes involved in the oxygen carbon cycle. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration plants and animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
