all animals and plants(though only at night) use a process called respiration to produce energy. Animals breath in air(which is, approxamentaly, 78% nitrogen, 21.5% oxygen, 0.3% Argon and less than .04% carbon DiOxcide. This air is taken in, and animals extract about 5% of that oxygen for giving life to all the cells in our bodies. When we exhale, the air hasn't changed alot. Its, approxamentaly, 78% nitrogen, 16.5% oxygen, .3% Argon, and roughly 5% carbon DiOxcide AND OTHER GASSES. So the short answer to the question is that we breath out what we breath in.

Why is Carbon Dioxide that is given off by animals not being wasted?
because plants need carbon dioxide to make new oxygen for the animals.
What is given off by animals that is necessary for the oxygen carbon cycle to continue?
Carbon dioxide
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
Why is carbon dioxide given out more than taken in?
It is the product of respiration. Animals including Humans breath in oxygen and exhale Carbon Dioxide
What gas does man and animals given off when they exhale?
Carbon dioxide, CO2.
What is the source of carbon found in the glucose resulting from photosynthesis?
The source of hydrogen atoms in glucose formed by photosynthesis is H20 or water. The balanced chemical equation for the photosynthesis process is 6CO2 plus 6H2O and light energy is converted to C6H12O6 plus 6O2.
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is given off by plants as they absorb carbon dioxide. It's like how animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, except plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
What type of land animals are able to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
plants give off the oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide given off by the animals. so, any land animal does that,. in the ocean, the oxygen makers are phytoplankton.
What gas is given off during respiration?
Carbon dioxide
What gas is given off by animals at daytime to the atmosphere?
Animals give off a number of gasses during Day and night, most notably Carbon dioxide and methane gas. Oxygen is needed by man and animal.
What gas is given off when zinc carbonate is heated?
carbon dioxide, when carbonates are heated carbon dioxide is is given off.
When is carbon dioxide given out?
glycolysis
