Both plants and animals need O2 for respiration.CO2 is needed by plants for photosynthesis.

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.
Do plants and animals release carbon dioxide?
Animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide-oxygen?
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human
What is oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human
What is carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle?

Which gas do animals remove from the air?
The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.
Is sunlight is needed by animals to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide?
No. Sunlight is needed by plants to convert CO2 to O2.
What is the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
The carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle is the cycle in which living things (such as plants and animals) take in "oxygen" and let out "carbon dioxide."
Do plants and animals use carbon dioxide?
No. Carbon Dioxide is used in the process of Photosynthesis to make a byproduct of Oxygen, but Oxygen isn't needed for this process. Photosynthesis equation: sunlight Carbon Dioxide + Water------------->Glucose + Oxygen chlorophyll P.S- Sunlight and Chlorophyll are needed in the reaction but they aren't products ( Carbon Dioxide and Water are raw materials and Glucose and Oxygen are products) so when you are writing the formulae they sit on the arrow :) Plants use oxygen during respiration and release carbondioxide. During photosynthesis oxygen is used and carbondioxide is released. Thus they use both the gases to make the air.
Is carbon dioxid needed for all organisms?
No, Carbon Dioxide is not needed for all organisms because humans and most other animals consume oxygen not carbon dioxide. However plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to create oxygen as a waste product. By the way you really need to check your spelling.
What is given off by plants wich is needed by man and animals?
Oxygen. Plants take in the Carbon Dioxide that man and animals exhale, and give off oxygen.
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...
