Yes. Carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect keeps the Earth warm enough for life. Carbon dioxide is also a vital part of the carbon cycle, important for the growth of all vegetation, as well as human and animal breathing.

∙ 13y agoInteresting question. Plants need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to synthesise oxygen and carbohydrates.
Animals need oxygen to live and it only produced by plants, so in relation to living things on Earth the answer is yes.

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if the concentration of carbon dioxide decreases?
It decreases with it. CO2 is essential for it
Is carbon monoxide essential for life on earth?
YES
Is carbon dioxide good for humans?
Carbon dioxide is a very useful and largely used chemical; carbon dioxide is not toxic but also doesn't maintain the life.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
What nonmetals in the atmosphere and their combinations are essential to life on earth?
Oxygen, nitrogen, and yes, even carbon dioxide are essential to life on Earth (plants require carbon dioxide, in order to perform photosynthesis).
What are six non metals essential for life?
Oxygen Hydrogen Nitrogen Water Carbon dioxide Ozone
Which gas forms less than one percent of the atmosphere but is essential to life?
carbon dioxide
Is carbon dioxide or the growth of microorganism a characteristic of life?
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
What are the essential raw reactants for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide and water
Which of the four major atmospheric gases is least important to life?
Oxygen + Nitrogen: Essential for animal and micro-organic processes. Carbon Dioxide: Essential to plant respiration. Argon: Pretty passive and no doubt least essential to life.
What variables are essential for plants to produced food?
The essential variables that are needed for plants to produce food are sun light, water (H20), and carbon dioxide.
What is carbon dioxide and how may it be harmful to drivers?
1. Carbon dioxide is a gas, non-toxic, with the formula CO2. 2. Carbon dioxide is not harmful for drivers. But: - carbon dioxide is harmful for the life on the earth because is a green house gas - carbon dioxide is not a breathing gas and did not maintain animal life - carbon dioxide is useful for plants, important in photosynthesis
How does carbon affect life on earth?
Carbon is essential to life. Life could not exist without it
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if the concentration of carbon dioxide decreases?
It decreases with it. CO2 is essential for it
What is the role for carbon dioxide on this earth?
We would die without carbon dioxide - carbon dioxide is essential to the production of oxygen! Trees and green plants ingest carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; plankton and green algae from the salt water (including ocean) or fresh water they live in. These green things produce oxygen as part of the process of photosynthesis. Oxidation produces some carbon dioxide, too, but the net effect is to give off less carbon dioxide, and produce more oxygen than they use. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forms part of the greenhouse effect, which, if its levels are not disturbed, keeps the earth pleasantly warm enough for life.
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.
