Just like human live on oxygen, plants live on carbon dioxide. In absence of carbon-dioxide they will die because they will be unable to create chlorophyll.

What would happen to the atmosphere's temperatures if there wasn't any carbon dioxide?

The atmosphere would be slightly cooler than it is now if there were no carbon dioxide in it. Carbon dioxide is just one of several so-called "greenhouse gasses". It is second in importance to water vapor, a very distant second. So, if all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere suddenly disappeared, it would not affect temperatures very much. What you have to worry about is the effect on plant life. Plants cannot survive without carbon dioxide. No trees, no crops. Fortunately, it's just not possible to deplete all of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Even over the long term. There are plenty of sources for carbon dioxide, including the burning of fossil fuels and respiration of animal life. And if that all ran out, then you have about a hundred times as much CO2 stored in the oceans as there is in the atmosphere, and that would go back into the atmosphere rather quickly.


What would happen if there no carbon dioxide in the air?

the trees would die because that is what they breathe in to produce oxygen and if there was no more oxygen people would die to


What would happen to Earth's oceans if its atmosphere had as much carbon dioxide as Venus?

If Earth's atmosphere had as much carbon dioxide as Venus, the oceans would become very acidic, leading to the destruction of marine life and ecosystems. This would have a devastating impact on the planet's biodiversity and overall health.


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!


Why is it important for the earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?

The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.

What would happen if humans did not have the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

Without the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, humans would not be able to adequately supply their cells with oxygen for energy production and remove waste carbon dioxide from their bodies. This would lead to cellular dysfunction, organ failure, and eventually death.


What would happen if you kept on breathing in carbon dioxide?

There is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You have been breathing it in all your life.


What would happen if carbon dioxide is not removed from your body?

What would happen if more carbon dioxide is bubbled into the reaction mixture when doing the test to identify carbon dioxide?

Why is carbon dioxide present in the air?

Carbon dioxide is present in the air because plants need carbon dioxide to make food and without carbon dioxide plants would die and eventually the rest of the food chain.


What would happen if water temperatures rise?

carbon dioxide could be absorbed


What would happen if a flower did not have carbon dioxide?

Nothing, as flowers doe not photosynthesize.


What cannot occur without carbon dioxide?

Photosynthesis in plants cannot occur without carbon dioxide, as it is a key component of the process. Without carbon dioxide, plants would not be able to produce glucose and oxygen through the photosynthesis process.


What process CANNOT occur without carbon dioxide photosynthesis respiration hydrolysis or condensation?

Photosynthesis cannot occur without carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. Without carbon dioxide, plants would not be able to carry out photosynthesis and produce food.
