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.


How might the death of all the producers in a community effect the corbon and oxygen cycles?

The death of all producers in a community would disrupt the carbon and oxygen cycles. Producers, such as plants, play a crucial role in photosynthesis, which absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Without producers, there would be a decrease in oxygen production and an increase in carbon dioxide levels, leading to imbalances in the cycles.


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 waste products are produced in cellular respiration?

The waste products produced in cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is the main waste product exhaled by animals, while water is typically eliminated through urine, sweating, or other bodily processes.

Where do animals and people receive carbon?

Animals and people receive carbon primarily through the food they consume. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into carbohydrates, which are then consumed by animals. The carbon is then transferred through the food chain as animals eat plants or other animals.


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.


Definition for carbonoxygen cycle?

The process by which carbon and oxygen cycle among people, animals and the environment.


That people could survive without gasseswhy or why not?

No. People, plants and animals need gasses to live- oxygen and 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.


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

Carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, supporting life on Earth.


How oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle take place in a aquarium?

In an aquarium, aquatic plants release oxygen through photosynthesis during the day when exposed to light. Fish and other aquatic animals then use this oxygen for respiration. In return, the animals release carbon dioxide into the water through respiration, which the plants uptake during photosynthesis to produce oxygen again. This creates a continuous cycle of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the aquarium.

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.


What role does the atmosphere play in the natural resources needed for life?

It provides life-giving oxygen for people and animals and provides carbon dioxide for plants.
