When an animal or plant dies, the carbon in its body is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or storing it in the soil. Some carbon may also be incorporated into new plants through the process of photosynthesis.

Where does animal or plant carbon go when it dies?
When animals or plants die, the carbon stored in their tissues is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide through respiration. Some carbon may also be stored in the soil or oceans through various processes.
What do plants need to go through photosynthesis?
Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to go through photosynthesis. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a type of sugar that serves as a source of energy for the plant. Oxygen is also produced as a byproduct of this process.
Why do plants go through cellular respiration and how do they balance the carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere by doing so?
Plants go through cellular respiration to generate energy for their metabolic processes. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration, they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The balance between photosynthesis and respiration helps regulate the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, maintaining a stable environment for all living organisms.
Does a plant use oxygen to make carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis equation: carbon dioxide + light energy --> oxygen + sugar (energy) so they produce oxygen It is sometimes scientifically beneficial to breathe on or talk to your plants because when you exhale you release carbon dioxide and the plants use that by changing it to oxygen as a part of photosynthesis!
When carbon from plants and animals die where does it go?
When carbon from dead plants and animals decomposes, it is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through processes like respiration and decomposition. Some of the carbon can also be stored in the soil, through processes like soil organic matter accumulation or fossilization, and in the oceans through processes like marine sedimentation.
Where does the oxygen go when it leaves the animal?
Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
If you burn plants where does the carbon primarily go to?
Into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Do plants make carbon dioxide?
No, plants use carbon dioxide to go through the process of photosynthesis to make oxygen.
What Do aquatic plants need to go through photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water and light.
How is carbon moved from the atmosphere?
Carbon is not 'moved' from the atmosphere. It can be absorbed and stored by things like plants and animals, but when they die and decay the carbon will go back into the carbon cycle again. Try googling 'carbon cycle'
What is the source of energy that plants need to survive?
Plants go through photosynthesis, a process that uses the sun, carbon, and water. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that produces a special type of sugar that provide the plant energy.
How does carbon dioxide go back to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.
Why animals can not make their food by carbon dioxide water and sunlight like plants?
because they don't go through photosynthesis like plants.
What do plants have to bring in to make food and how or where do the plants bring these things in?
They have to bring in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to go through photosynthesis. They get the water through the roots and the light and carbon dioxide through the stomata in the leaf.
How do plant and animal cells help each other to survive?
Photosynthesis: Plants do the Photosynthesis, if they don't, they die. If the plants die, then herbivores will die out and the carnivores will go with them.Cellular Respiration:
What are the plants called which fix carbon dioxide?
"fix" carbon dioxide? If turning CO2 into oxygen is what you meant. They are called plants. Better go with the green ones. They use light, CO2 and H2O as food and ends up producing O2 or oxygen.
Where does animal or plant carbon go when it dies?
When animals or plants die, the carbon stored in their tissues is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide through respiration. Some carbon may also be stored in the soil or oceans through various processes.
