What happens if plants get too much carbon dioxide?
The plants would have a harder time growing. Carbon Dioxide is similar for plants as Oxygen is for people. However, plants can often adapt to changes in "air quality" much better then people can.
What happens if an organism can't make enough catalase?
Then the plants would not breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.
Why do the new plants need stored food?
Because if there is a loss of water then it won't have enough stored and it will die.
How are forests able to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it for years?
All trees and different types of vegetation can. The trees and plants don't store all of the carbon dioxide for years because some plants die, and some trees drop leaves in the fall. What happens is in the summer when the trees get new leaves and grow more wood in the form of branches and a larger trunk, then they store a lot of carbon dioxide. However, in the fall, when the leaves fall and they decompose, a portion of the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. The majority of the carbon dioxide is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the trees and the remaining parts of the plants (such as stems, roots). That is until they are consumed by rotting, or decomposing, or by being burned. Then the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere once more. Since trees live a very long time, a lot of carbon dioxide is stored for a very long time.
What happens when you don't water plants and why?
they will not photosynthesize, then die
What happens to carbon when plants and animals die?
it decays until there is nothing left of it
What happens when there is a lack of carbon dioxide to the heart?
we would die along with plants and animals
How is carbon moved from the atmosphere?
Carbon is not 'moved' from the atmosphere. It can be absorbed and stored by things like plants and animals, but when they die and decay the carbon will go back into the carbon cycle again. Try googling 'carbon cycle'
What happens to the carbon dioxide atoms in the body of plants?
the body of plats will die coz of the atom

What happens to plants with out plants?
if plants are polluted the die and carbon-dioxide will increase and if carbon dioxide increased the air will be polluted and it will be polluted and also plants will get poisonous and if any living thing ate this plants they will get very bad deceases causing to death
What happens if plants don't breath?
Plants cannot carry out photosynthesis if they do not obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And without photosynthesis, all the biological processes of green plants will fail. The plant will die.
When plants and animals die what happens to the carbon?
The carbon is ingested by other organisms, remains in the soil, becomes a part of sediments, or could be trapped in future sedimentary rock.
What happens if an organism can't make enough catalase?
Then the plants would not breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.
Why do the new plants need stored food?
Because if there is a loss of water then it won't have enough stored and it will die.
What happens if you inhale carbon monoxide?
You Die
What separates nitrogen from plants when they die?
Carbon dioxide.
