The Oxygen diffuses into cells, where it is used in the mitochondria in a process called cellular respiration. This process converts C6H12O6 (sugar) and oxygen into H2O , CO2 and ATP. ATP (or adenosine tri-phosphate) is the energy that fuels our bodies. This process is why we breathe out CO2
What else can I help you with?
How does oxygen cycle through an ecosystem?
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by plants for use in photosynthesis to make sugars. During the process of photosynthesis, some oxygen is made as a byproduct. This oxygen is then inhaled by animals. Animals exchange oxygen in the air for carbon dioxide. Then the cycle starts over again.
How does plants and animals use carbon dioxide and oxygen in different ways?
Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere by breaking CO2 apart and releasing the oxygen during photosynthesis. Animals eat the plants, excrete an undigested portion of the carbon, and exhale the rest through respiration of the carbon with atmospheric oxygen (or in the case of marine animals--oxygen dissolved in water).
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.
Where does exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the air we breathe diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled out of the body.
Human use oxygen gas and breathe out carbon dioxide gas?
Correct, humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration. Oxygen is used in the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide as a waste product.
What makes plants unique from animals in the food chain?
Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen; animals breathe in oxygen & breathe out carbon dioxide.
Does penguins breathe in carbon dioxide and lets out oxygen?
Penguins breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. They have this in common with all animals.
Do plants and animals release carbon dioxide?
Animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What do people and animals breathe plus carbon dioxide?
Oxygen
Do fish need carbon dioxide in order to survive?
No, invertebrates do not breathe carbon dioxide. All animals breathe oxygen.
Where do lugs get oxygen and release carbon dioxide to?
when you breathe in, you breathe in oxygen and when you breathe out, its carbon dioxide
What do plants take from animals?
Plants and animals have a synergistic existence, meaning that they benefit from each other in their survival. When animals breathe in air, their bodies remove the air's oxygen and use it for fuel. When they breathe out, they breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants love carbon dioxide. They take it and convert it back to oxygen which they then disperse into the air for animals to breathe. Your answer is "carbon dioxide".
How animals get rid of carbon dioxide?
Animals get rid of Carbon Dioxide by breathing. Animals breathe in oxygen and they breathe out carbon dioxide.Diffusion from the cells, and diffusion from the bodies of insects.Animals with a blood circulation & lungs exhale it.
What is the meaning of Oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle?
It is a cycle on how carbon dioxide is transformed into oxygen for animals and humans and other living things to breathe.
How come there is enough oxygen left over for animals to breathe?
animals breathe oxygen, as you know, and exhale carbon dioxide. plants, trees for example, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. this is why there is plaenty of oxygen left for every living creature
What do plants use that consumers breathe out?
We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants take in this carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which we use after that.
What do humans breathe out and plants breathe in?
Carbon dioxide . It is part of the Carbon and Oxygen cycles. Humans ( all animals) breath in ( inhale) oxygen . It is used internally in the animated organism. It is then breathed out ( exhaled) as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and 'falls' to the ground. Whereupon , it is absorbed by green plant life. Then under the process of photosynthesis within the plant , the carbon dioxide is broken down in to oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, and the carbon is kept in the plant as biomass.
