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.


When people and animals breathe their cells take in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide which plants take in to make food?

That is correct. People and animals consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, while plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen. It's a match made in heaven.


Is the fate of the carbon dioxide the same in plants and animals?

No, in plants carbon dioxide is a raw material, or reactant, for photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. For animals, is is just a waste product.

How do plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in atmosphere?

During the process of photosynthesis release oxygen and animals (we) inhale oxygen and release carbondioxide. This is how plants and animals depend on each other by symbiosys. Hope that helps...


How does plants and animals use carbon dioxide and oxygen in different ways?

Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere by breaking CO2 apart and releasing the oxygen during photosynthesis. Animals eat the plants, excrete an undigested portion of the carbon, and exhale the rest through respiration of the carbon with atmospheric oxygen (or in the case of marine animals--oxygen dissolved in water).

How does carbon dioxide enter living things?

Animals, including humans, take in carbon whenever we eat. Some of this is released when we breathe out. Vegetation, including trees, take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They store the carbon and release the oxygen.
