This is an odd question, although I suppose that the gases that are most affecting the animals near the Poles contribute indirectly. The gases you are referring to are called greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. They don't so much affect the animals near the poles directly, but more the environment in which these animals live. The greenhouse gases contribute to the melting of ice caps and icebergs which, in turn, does affect polar animals like penguins and polar bears.

How do gases released near the ground reach the ozone layer?
Diffusion, plain old thermal mixing, aka. entropy. It takes months for gases to diffuse upwards / downwards, days to diffuse north or south (latitudinally), and hours to diffuse west->east (longitudinally).
How are the minerals and dissolved gases in ocean water used?
The minerals and dissolved gases in ocean water are used by plant and animals.
How are excess greenhouse gases affecting the temperature of earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases help keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. When we increase the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases above their natural level, this leads to global warming, in other words higher average temperatures across the globe.
How are greenhouse gases affecting animals?
The gases themselves don't affect animals directly except by causing global warming. This warming all over the world is causing climate change and it will mean that many animals' habitats will change. Most will become drier and hotter, eventually, but some may get wetter first. Changes in climate will mean that the food that some animals rely on will disappear. Rises in ocean temperatures mean that fish are moving away from the equator in search of cooler waters. Oceans are becoming more acidic (taking in more carbon dioxide) and this acid is making the protective shells of crabs and molluscs thinner and weaker. Coral reefs are also dying because of the warmer and more acidic water.
Which best explains the importance of dissolved gases in the ocean?

What are the 2 gases that animals exchange with their surroundings?
Oxygen.
what way of making electricity has the most harmful effect on the environment?
Through non-renewable resources.These give off greenhouse gases when combusted affecting the enviroment and require drilling again affecting the enviroment.
How does greenhouse gas affect plants?
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide can enhance photosynthesis in plants, leading to increased growth under certain conditions. However, excessive greenhouse gas levels can also result in temperature increases and changes in precipitation patterns, which may impact plant health and disrupt ecosystems.
Where are natural gases located?
Natural gases are located in a few different places. Natural gases are in plants, animals and microorganisms that lived millions of years ago.
