On average, a plant can absorb about 1/3 of a pound (150 grams) of carbon dioxide in a day.
Plants absorb about 25 of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities each day.
During photosynthesis, a plant absorbs and converts about 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) into 1 molecule of glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
Carbon dioxide is good for plants; they use it as an ingredient of photosynthesis. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is thought to cause global warming, but it does not directly harm plants. Indirectly, global warming causes changes in rain patterns which are harmful to some plants in some locations.
Plants do produce carbon dioxide, however, the amount they produce is generally a net NEGATIVE amount. Plants, like all carbon based life forms known to date produce carbon dioxide as they use energy for biological work. This is part of the normal functioning of cells that they require oxygen in order to do this work, during which they are consuming oxygen and sugars, bonding carbon with oxygen in the process creating carbon dioxide. If they did not do this, they could not grow, and could not repair damage. HOWEVER, plants also take in carbon dioxide and use it combined with light energy in photosynthesis. This process separates the carbon and oxygen molecules, and the carbon is utilized in the preparation of stored energy ("food"). The oxygen molecules are released into the atmosphere. In a healthy plant through the bulk of its life, the plant produces more oxygen and removes more carbon dioxide than it uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. Exact amounts will vary based on available light, plant species, water, atmospheric condition and overall health of the plant. In >general< the more green you see on the plant, the more of the plant involved in photosynthesis and the more oxygen it produces. however, this does not tell you how much oxygen it uses (and thus how much carbon dioxide it produces). but in general, plants (and other chlorophyll laden life forms) consume more carbon dioxide than they create.
This is an example of the natural process known as carbon sequestration, where the oceans act as a sink by absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps mitigate the impact of increased carbon dioxide levels on the climate and ocean acidification.
Plants absorb about 25 of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities each day.
Plants get Carbon dioxide from the air. The leaves on the plant are held up in the air by the leaf stalk so that they can be exposed to as much air as possible. The carbon dioxide then diffuses into the leaves where it is combined with hydrogen during the reduction reaction.
During photosynthesis, a plant absorbs and converts about 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) into 1 molecule of glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
Potassium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide produced by the green plant during respiration. By placing the potassium hydroxide in the experimental setup, any carbon dioxide released will be absorbed, preventing it from affecting the results of the experiment. This allows for the accurate measurement of how much carbon dioxide is produced by the plant during respiration.
On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

A:In a natural balance, plants absorb as much carbon dioxide (CO2) as animals exhale, keeping the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide at the long-term average of around 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm). Human activities have increased this level to 380 ppm since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and rising fat. This itself is evidence that plants simply can not absorb the additional carbon dioxide load in the atmosphere. Moreover, our continuing destruction of forests actually reduces the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide, and is one important reason for the rising CO2 levels.

Carbon dioxide is present in water from fish respiration and the breaking down of organics such as rotting leaves. As far as how they assimilate it, it's pretty much the same as terrestrial plants. Absorbsion through their leaves, roots, etc.
The "guard cells" at the opening of the stoma, which is where the gases go, do not allow any more carbon dioxide to pass through by keeping the opening shut.
Carbon Monoxide: is a colorless, odorless, tastless gas that when inhaled is toxic to humans. Carbon Monoxide: is a byproduct of a rich mixture fire, Burning wood, Gas fires, etc. Your answer is No! Trees use Carbon Dioxide which is what you release when you exhale. So-Live long.
