Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. They remove and store the carbon and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere. A forest of trees is thus called a carbon sink.

Do trees need carbon dioxide?
Trees do contain carbon. Trees take in carbon and convert it to carbon dioxide which is then released into the air as oxygen.
What is a waste product of breathing?
Carbon-Dioxide is the gas we breath out. But is also the gas trees need to keep alive.
How does cutting down forests affect the carbon cycle?
It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.
Which tree not give oxygen?
All trees give oxygen; it is a result of the trees "inhaling" carbon dioxide. Just like how humans give off carbon dioxide when they exhale, trees also give off carbon dioxide. So all trees give off oxygen to the environment-its a natural result of trees trying to survive.
How do trees produce sugar?
The carbon dioxide lets out sugar
Why do trees suck in carbon dioxide?
trees suck in carbon dioxide to then release oxygen
Why does cutting down trees increase carbon dioxide?
Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.
Do palm trees need carbon dioxide?
Yes, all trees need and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What get rids of carbon dioxide?
trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen
Does trees need carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide, water, and sun
If we cut down tropical rain forest will it produce carbon dioxide?
No it won 't. Carbon dioxide is from the trees. If people cut down trees we won't have carbon dioxide.
What are two ways that deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What molecule do trees get there carbon from?
Carbon dioxide. CO2
WHAT MOLECULES DO TREES GET CARBON FROM?
Carbon dioxide. CO2
How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Because trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and if they cut them down we will have more carbon dioxide.
How is carbon dioxide alive?
Its not. Carbon Dioxide is a gas that trees and plants ingest and we emit.
Where you get oxygen?
trees breathe out oxygen we breathe out carbon dioxide and trees breathe in carbon dioxide SAVE THE RAINFORESTS OR WE'LL DIE!!
