The kingdoms has changed over time - It is no longer just plant and animal. By most scientist diffinition all plants convert Carbon Dioxide to Oxygen as do Algae and lichen (which technicaly are not part of the plant kingdom). Fungus and slimes do not (note funguses (mushrooms) is now considered to be closer to animal then plant)
When plants photosynthesise they use carbon dioxide in the air and expel oxygen as a waste product. So all plants that photosynthesise will covert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Photosynthetic plants can be identified by their green colouration, which comes from chlorophyll, a molecule vital for photosynthesis.

What source removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Plants and trees, they convert it to oxygen
How do forest control carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Through the process of respiration plants convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into O2 (breathable oxygen).
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
Is sunlight is needed by animals to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide?
No. Sunlight is needed by plants to convert CO2 to O2.
How does oxygencarbon dioxide and nitrogen gases cycle through the environment?
Almost all living things need oxygen. Plants start the oxygen cycle through the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide, and release oxygen. Animals then take in the oxygen and convert it into carbon dioxide through a process called respiration.
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
Why the plants are so important?
They convert carbon dioxide in oxygen
What is the plants role in carbon cycle?
Plants have the ability to convert CO2, or Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.
How does carbon enter plants from the atmosphere?
As carbon dioxide. Plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen in the chemical process of photosynthesis.
What is the important of plant in oxygen cycles?
Plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis.
What source removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Plants and trees, they convert it to oxygen
Do plants convert the energy of sunlight into carbon dioxide and water?
No. (This is just a bad multiple choice distractor.)Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen using the energy of sunlight.
How does carbon doxide help the plant?
Plants use carbon dioxide to convert into oxygen. Carbon dioxide (and water and sunlight) is needed for photosynthesis which is the process plants use to survive.
What role do consumers play in the carbon and oxygen?
Producers are plants, and anything else that undergoes photosynthesis, that take in carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen. Consumers, such as humans and animals, take in oxygen and convert it and release it as carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.
How do forests control carbon dioxide in atmosphere?
Through the process of respiration plants convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into O2 (breathable oxygen).
How do forest control carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Through the process of respiration plants convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into O2 (breathable oxygen).
How do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
