What would the earth be without carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

If your just asking about carbon, carbon dioxide WOULD be destroyed. But that would not be our reason of death. In fact, everything living would die much faster than if only carbon dioxide disappeared. Our DNA is attached together with a carbon backbone and the individual chemical strands in it would separate. Imagine it like this; every cell in every living creature would instantly deteriorate and likely fall apart. This is why people say that everything living is carbon-based.

Answer 2

No, You would not be able to live without carbon because when we breathe in oxygen we let out carbon. When we let that out the plants use it to make oxygen for us to breathe so we would not be able to live without carbon. No, You would not be able to live without carbon because when we breathe in oxygen we let out carbon. When we let that out the plants use it to make oxygen for us to breathe so we would not be able to live without carbon.

Answer 3

Since everything on our planet survives off Oxyegen sept Plants and bacteria, then for one we would all be dead. But the earth would have evolved differently, there would be other speaces that survived off of CO2, not oxagen. Though the plants here need oxegen breathers to supply them with the CO2 they need to live, and in return they suplly oxegen. That question is up for Opinions only and that was mine. Sorry I dont know how to spell oxegen.

Answer 4

This is highly unlikely. Some theorize that life could be silicon based, but there is no proof, and even organosilicon is a carbon-silicon molecule. There are 84 common carbon molecules and only 8 common silicon molecules, also carbon is 10 times more abundant than silicon.

Answer 5

we would all die because we need carbon dioxide and all the plants would be dead and the world would not look pretty. the plants need carbon dioxide and that's what we breath out to nourish them.

<<>> In fact the plants were here first and it's the oxygen given out by photosynthesis in plants that allowed animals to develop in the first place. Carbon dioxide is a largely inert gas that animals don't need, they produce it as a waste product that has to be breathed out. Plants use carbon dioxide but they can do nothing with it without heat and light from the Sun.

Answer 6

Well, considering we and every other living thing on this earth, are carbon based. Life as we know it wouldn't exist.

Answer 7

Without carbon dioxide and water molecules to trap heat energy, the Earth would be an average temperature of -25 degrees.

Answer 8

There would be no life, because all living things need carbon.

Answer 9

NADA IA EXISTIR NA TERRA

Answer 10

Lifeless
