What happens to carbon dioxide that is released by plants and animals?

The answer is: carbon dioxide that is released by animals is absorbed by plants ;)))


What happens when carbon plus oxygen turns into carbon dioxide?

Plants use the carbon dioxide to make food.

How can plants live in the ocean?

there is carbon dioxide molecules dissolved in the water and the plants take them out and use it to photosynthesize if it cannot find carbon dioxide it will find dissolved oxygen molecules and carry out respiration


How Does carbon dioxide provide the carbon atoms that are incorporated into sugars in photosynthesis?

I am guessing a bit here, but sugar molecules are produced in plants and plants get their carbon atoms from carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.


Do plants split carbon dioxide molecules?

Plants do not split carbon dioxide molecules. They use a process called photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, using sunlight as an energy source. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.


Where is carbon found in photosynthesis?

Carbon is found in carbon dioxide molecules, which are taken in by plants during the process of photosynthesis. The carbon from carbon dioxide is used to build organic molecules such as glucose, which store energy for the plant to use.


Which molecules do green plants use to make glucose?

Where do plants get the carbon they use to make organic molecules?

Plants get the carbon they use to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide in the air through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other organic compounds, which they use as building blocks for growth and energy.


How plants obsorb carbon dioxide?

Plants absorb CO2 for the creation of glucose in photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 So if you put in six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules you get one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules in return. Glucose is used by plants to respirate, like animals. Plants don't just absorb CO2, though, they also use it. Like other living creatures, when they respirate they turn Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide.


What raw material do plants need to built sugar molecules?
