How are oxygen and carbon dioxide important to plants and animals?

because if we do not have the oxygen and carbon dioxide we cannot live to this environment it is important because it is our body needs and for the circulation of our breaths through our hearts and lungs


Why is photosynthesis useful?

Photosynthesis is useful in three respects.1. It is the only process that convert simple elements (carbon dioxide and water) with the aid of sunlight into glucose and Oxygen. This provides food for the plant and in turn food for animals; both of which are then eaten by people.2. People and animals benefit directly from the products of plants (without photosynthesis no plants): foods, drink, building materials, fuel, medicine.3. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of animal respiration, plants convert the Carbon dioxide back into breathable Oxygen (as a byproduct) - without plants we eventually would not be able to breath.


What do plants give to human beings?

why are plants important to people? photosynthesis ============================================================== they give off oxygen which we breath and take in the co2 which we breath out an turn it into oxygen again, if their where no planet we be lucky if their was 5 years worth of air for us to breath.


What is the importance of trees in human life?

The role that plants trees have within their environment is to enable them absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen, also act as wind breakers and also act as home of other animals such as birds.


How are the oxygen and carbon cycles linked?

All three cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen, and the oxagen cycle recycles the oxagen. both cycles are found in soil. also, they are very important to every oragnism. the carbon cycle recycles caronatoms and the nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen.

What do people and animals breathe plus carbon dioxide?

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.


What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

animals and people breath out carbon dioxide and plants use carbon dioxide


How do fish breathe in and breathe out?

Yes they do. Its part of the carbon cycle. When plants give off carbon dioxide, animals breath it in, when they die, scavengers eat them then decomposer breaks the dead carcasses back into the basic materials.


Definition for carbonoxygen cycle?

How does carbon dioxide differ from carbon monoxide?

Carbon dioxide is one carbon atom with two oxygen atoms. When you breath, you exhale carbon dioxide, as do all animals. Plants require carbon dioxide to grow; essentially they need it the way animals need oxygen. If you get too much carbon dioxide in a confined space, you can suffocate as it will displace the oxygen. Carbon monoxide is one carbon atom with one oxygen atom. It is the result of incomplete combustion of organic materials such as wood, gasoline, etc. It interferes with the ability of your blood to transport oxygen. If you breath enough of it you can loose consciousness and die. That is what happens if people sit in a closed garage with the car running.

What is 1 way plants are helpful to people?

Plants undergo photosynthesis which rids the world of the carbon dioxide that animals and people expel due to cellular respiration, and convert it into oxygen. We breathe the oxygen as we need it to survive.


Is carbon dioxide breathed in by people and released as oxygen?

No, it is the other way round, people breath in Oxygen (O2) and breath out Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
