Only breathe when necessary. Don't chop down forests. Don't use cars as often as we do.

What do trees release into the atmosphere?
Trees take in carbon dioxide, store the carbon in their trunks and branches, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis and is done by all growing vegetation.
What is CO2 and H2O?
CO2 is carbon dioxide.H2O is water.Putting them together would give you carbonic acid, H2CO3Products:C6H12O6(glucose)+6O2a photosynthesis process ie. done by plants
Where is corbon dioxide produced?
Carbon monoxide is produced in the engine and is one of the three exhaust gasses that result from combustion however if your car has a functioning catalytic converter the carbon monoxide should be transformed into carbon dioxide.
Do cars release CO2 or Carbon monoxide or both?
No. Carbon dioxide is the product of combustion and cannot be burned. If you compress carbon dioxide you could run an engine in the same manner as compressed air (like the Tata Motors Limited vehicles) and be used as power source. This has not been done with carbon dioxide.)
How can greenhouse gases be reversed?
We need to find sources of renewable energy to generate electricity and drive our transport. At present all this is done largely by burning fossil fuels, which releases long-held carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We also need to plant forests all over the world, which will absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, release the oxygen and store the carbon.
What is a gas created by plants?
There are two, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is produced by photosythensis, which is done only during the daytime. Carbon dioxide is given off by cellular respiration, which is done all the time. Overall, more oxygen is given off then carbon dioxide.
What have plants done to the atmosphere?
they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, and in doing so they are reducing the carbon emmisions in the air.
What is oxygen released into the atmosphere by?
This process is called photosynthesis. It is done by the plants.
What work is done in the capillarys?
To bring nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and absorbing carbon dioxide and other waste products from them.
What is the cycle called when you turn gas in the air into oxygen?
The easiest method for converting carbon dioxide to oxygen is photosynthesis which is done by plants.
What is the energy that powers the carbon cycle?
The Sun's energy powers it by separating out carbon and oxygen from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is done by plants in a process called photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. The energy can be recovered later when the carbon in the plant tissues is burned with oxygen from the atmosphere, and that produces carbon dioxide and heat.
A gas that you breathe out is a waste gas?
The gas that is being referred to is carbon dioxide which is a waste product of cellular respiration. In the respiratory system carbon dioxide is removed from the body as it is breathed out. This is done by the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and bloodstream. Oxygen is inhaled in enters the bloodstream and is then distributed throughout the body. At the same time carbon dioxide is breathed out which is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration.
Do trees make sugar with carbon dioxide?
Yes, also use water and oxygen. The conversion is done by chlorophyl.
What do trees release into the atmosphere?
Trees take in carbon dioxide, store the carbon in their trunks and branches, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis and is done by all growing vegetation.
Blood comes from the heart to lungs to have what done?
To get rid of the carbon dioxide produced in the cells of your body, and to get new oxygen to transport to your cells.
How is coal converted into other forms of energy?
Coal is normally burned to produce heat. This is done by burning the coal with oxygen from the atmosphere. The process unites carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and the formation of the chemical bonds in this process releases energy as heat. Burning one ton of coal creates about 3 tons of carbon dioxide. The additional mass comes from the oxygen taken from the atmosphere.
How does carbon dioxide get out of your bloodstream?
It is gas exchange in the alveoli that gets the carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the blood and the oxygen (O2) in. What is actually going on is that the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood is greater than that of the CO2 in the air. The CO2 will diffuse out of the blood into the air, driven by that difference in partial pressure. And diffusion, driven by the higher partial pressure of O2 in the air drives that oxygen in the air into the blood. A link can be found below to an animated short that explains the process.
