You can. Though it is difficult this is because it is chemically bonded. This makes it harder and more difficult to separate.

Why do plants need carbon dioxide and nort oxygen?

because they need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis they are just like humans but they take in carbon dioxide and then change it to oxygen and release it in the air


Do animals breath off carbon dioxide?

Animals exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen just as humans do.


Can humans survive on earth if there was no oxygen just carbon dioxide?

No


Why can't you separate carbon dioxide and get oxygen?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a compound made up of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. The bonds between these atoms are strong and require a significant amount of energy to break apart. Separating carbon dioxide to obtain oxygen would require a process such as electrolysis or thermal decomposition, which would consume more energy than the oxygen obtained. Therefore, it is not practical to separate carbon dioxide to obtain oxygen.


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).


Are the oxygen and carbon the same compound?

No, it is not. Carbon refers to the element C, with the atomic number 6. Carbon Dioxide refers to the compound formed when one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms are bonded together through covalent bonds. -- Carbon dioxide is a molecule consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. --


Can plants provide carbon dioxide to animals?

Plants do not produce carbon dioxide for animals. Instead, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Animals then use this oxygen for respiration, producing carbon dioxide as a waste product, which is then used by plants for photosynthesis in a continuous cycle.


Do carbon dioxide water and glucose have all elements?

Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) contains carbon and oxygen, water (H2O) contains hydrogen and oxygen, and glucose (C6H12O6) contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. So, all three compounds have elements within them.


Is cells a product of respiration?

no, cells are just cells. the products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis (day time) carbon dioxide+water=oxygen+sugar, glucose Respiration (night time) oxygen+glucose, sugar=carbon dioxide+water


What do humans breathe out and plants breathe in?

Carbon dioxide . It is part of the Carbon and Oxygen cycles. Humans ( all animals) breath in ( inhale) oxygen . It is used internally in the animated organism. It is then breathed out ( exhaled) as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and 'falls' to the ground. Whereupon , it is absorbed by green plant life. Then under the process of photosynthesis within the plant , the carbon dioxide is broken down in to oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, and the carbon is kept in the plant as biomass.


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.


What are the positives of carbon dioxide?

Without carbon dioxide, no green plant on earth would ever be able to exist, since all green plants breathe in carbon dioxide, just as we breathe in oxygen.
