Through a process called 'photosynthesis.' Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction which requires an input of energy (meaning it can't happen on it's own). Plants get the energy to power this process from the sun.
Using carbon dioxide and water, plants rearrange the molecules to form oxygen gas and glucose, or sugar, which they use for energy. The chemical reaction is given by the following formula:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O => C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when plants turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy and oxygen?
The process that you describe is called, "Photosynthesis".
Three ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere?
Through photosynthesis by plants and trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the oceans, where it can be stored in marine organisms or sediments. Human activities such as carbon capture and storage, where carbon dioxide emissions are captured and stored underground to prevent them from entering the atmosphere.
What does carbon turn into if exposed to oxygen?
Nothing, unless there is a heat source. Then the carbon reacts to form carbon dioxide. C + O2 ---> CO2
What would happen to the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere if there were less plants and trees?
Trees and plants take in Carbon Dioxide and in turn breathes out oxygen. If there was no plants and trees we would die. The whole of the world depends on plants and trees. Not meaning to sound like a tree-hugger, but don't cut down trees...plant them!
How does plants help the earth?
Plants help the earth by producing oxygen through photosynthesis, which is essential for all living organisms. They also help to regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing carbon in their vegetation and roots. Additionally, plants play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity, preventing soil erosion, and providing habitats for many species.
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.
Is it possible for you to turn cabon dioxide into oxygen?
Yes, all you have to do is grow some plants to turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.
What does carbion dioxide have to play in the green house?
The plants need the Carbon Dioxide to inhale. They then turn the carbon dioxide into oxygen for us to breathe. That is what carbon dioxide does in the green house.
What is the gas exchange between humans and plants?
Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and expel Oxygen as a by-product of cellular respiration. Animals take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide as a by-product of cellular respiration.
What is unique about plants?
They take carbon dioxide out the air and turn it into oxygen, this is why we have life on Earth
What gas is released by living things to the air that is utilized by plants?
Carbon Dioxide. Animals exhale carbon dioxide as a product of respiration. Plants principally utilise carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Plants may also respire in the absence of adequate sunlight, which is why keeping plants in the bedroom is not always a good idea.
Do plants' leaves absorb carbon dioxide?
Yes, plants' leaves have tiny openings called stomata that allow them to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. The carbon dioxide is then used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
Can you turn carbon dioxide into oxygen?
No, carbon dioxide cannot be turned into oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration and oxygen is produced during photosynthesis.
What role did plants play in the oxygen cycle?
plants use a prosses of photosynthesis this means that the plants take in carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen, that is why protecting the plants and envirment is so important. without plants the eath would be full of cabon dioxide making it impossible to live
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 oxygen is returned to the atmosphere?
Oxygen is returned to the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis carried out by plants, where they take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as a byproduct. Additionally, marine plants like phytoplankton also play a significant role in producing oxygen through photosynthesis.
Where do photosynthesis mostly occur?
Mostly in plants where they take oxygen and turn it into food which releases carbon dioxide.
