No, in plants carbon dioxide is a raw material, or reactant, for photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. For animals, is is just a waste product.

What happens to the carbon in plans when they die?

When plants die, the carbon stored in their biomass is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the plant material, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere during respiration. Some carbon may also be transferred to the soil as organic matter, where it can be stored for longer periods. Ultimately, the fate of this carbon depends on various factors, including environmental conditions and the presence of soil organisms.

Why are some plants not eaten by animals?

Plants are Photosynthetic Homotrophs with cell walls, and animals are Heterotrophic Multicellular organisms. In brief: Plants can photosynthesis and "produce their own food". They have a rigid cell wall which also differentiates them from animal cells. Animals on the otherhand are multicelluar organisms which derive their nutrition through digesting organic compounds. They only have a cell membrane and not a cell wall


How is carbon cycled through living and nonliving things in an ecosystem?

Energy "flows" through the ecosystem in the form of carbon-carbon bonds. When respiration occurs, the carbon-carbon bonds are broken and the carbon is combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. This process releases the energy, which is either used by the organism (to move its muscles, digest food, excrete wastes, think, etc.) or the energy may be lost as heat. "Respiration", which to the layperson usually refers to "breathing", means "the extraction of energy from carbon-carbon bonds at the cellular level" to most scientists (except those scientists studying breathing, who use respiration in the lay sense). The dark arrows represent the movement of this energy. Note that all energy comes from the sun, and that the ultimate fate of all energy in ecosystems is to be lost as heat. Energy does not recycle!!

What is the fate of the NADPH molecules created during noncyclic photophosphorylation?

NADPH molecules created during noncyclic photophosphorylation are used in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a process known as carbon fixation. The NADPH molecules provide reducing power necessary for the synthesis of sugars in the stroma of the chloroplast.


How long is carbon stored in a tree?

Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air releasing the oxygen and retaining the carbon as sugar and cellulose. The cellulose is used to form wood and leaves. The sugar fuels the trees cellular growth and seed formation. The carbon is stored as wood (in the tree itaelf) and in the fallen leaves as humus or carbon in the soil.
