Which gas do animals remove from the air?

The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.


How many atoms of each element make up the compound glucose C6H12O6?

Sugars of a plant form in photosynthesis. Where water, carbon dioxide and sunlight are absorbed in the cell's chloroplasts. This equation shows that. 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy ® C6H12O6 + 6O2 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water and energy equal the plants sugar (glucose) and 6 molecules of carbon to go on to the Calvin Cycle.


Why does limewater go milky?

Limewater get milky at the presence of carbon dioxide dissolved in it.


Why is it hard for animals to live on wave-cut rock platforms?

because they will get squashed and go EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SPLAT! this is not true as animals do not EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SPLAT!


Why does chloroplast give plant cells the advantage over the animal cell?

The chloroplast does not give plant cells any type of advantage at all. More Info: As cells go, each cell performs well within it's own environment. However, chloroplasts do allow the plant cell to produce it's own food (making it a producer), through a process called photosynthesis. The process takes light energy and chlorophyll (and several other chemicals) to make glucose. Glucose is then used by the cell as it's energy source. Plant cells can use their own glucose. Animal cells need to take in (making animals consumers instead of producers) an energy source that eventually is converted to glucose. Ultimately, animal cells cannot perform photosynthesis because they don't have chloroplasts.

Where does animal or plant carbon go when it dies?

When animals or plants die, the carbon stored in their tissues is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide through respiration. Some carbon may also be stored in the soil or oceans through various processes.


What will happen to animals if all plants vanish and vice verse?

If all plants vanish from the planet, then there will be no food for plant eating animals and they will die of hunger and the animal eating animals (Carnivorous.) die as they will not have plant eating animals to eat. Also Carbon bi oxide will go on increasing and Oxygen go on decreasing, as animals will respire to produce it and plants are are not there to convert it back to Oxygen. Vise verse if all animals vanish from the earth, then Plants will not get the Carbon bi oxide, required for photosynthesis and they will also die of starvation, as they also need food for there growth and respiration.


Why is carbon dioxide released from dead roots?

For a plant to live, it breathes in carbon dioxide. When a plant dies it still has to go somewhere if it isn't used, because the plant will start to decompose, so the carbon dioxide is released


When a animal or plants dieswhere does the carbon go?

When an animal or plant dies, the carbon in its body is released back into the environment through decomposition. Microorganisms break down the organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere or storing it in the soil. Some carbon may also be incorporated into new plants through the process of photosynthesis.


Where does the nitrogen go before it enters the plant?

carbon dioxide


Where do people and animals go when they die?

no one can answer but god himself Animals don't ahave a soul so they won't go anywhere, but humans will go to heaven if they where good on earth or if they were bad they will go to hell.


Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from burning wood in a campfire If it were to go through the whole carbon cycle number the steps that would follow?

1 A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis 5 The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere 4 The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground 2 A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree' s leaves 3 A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar


Where does an animal's or plant's nitrogen go when it dies?

The nitrogen goes into the soil and then into the atmosphere through denitrification ;)


Where does the oxygen go when it leaves the animal?

Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.


Where does nitrogen fro the atmosphere go before it enters plant?

carbon dioxide


What happens to nitrogen of plants and animals when they die?

It goes back into the soil.


Where does the carbon dioxide and water that are produced during plant respiration go?

The majority of the water is used to make a sugary food called glucose, that is used to feed the plant. The excess glucose is stored in the roots of the plant to provide the plant with nutrients in the spring. The excess water evaporates from small pores within the leaf. That is why greenhouses are often foggy. The small amount of excess carbon dioxide is stored within the plant and is released when the plant dies and decomposes.
