Oxygen is the waste product of the process photosynthesis. The tree uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (this is trapped by the green pigment in leaves called chlorophyll), to create glucose. Oxygen is released as a waste product.

Does a tree give oxygen?

A tree takes in carbon dioxide, and returns oxygen to the atmosphere.


How or where does a tree get oxygen to give us?

A tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, and, with the input of energy from sunlight, oxidizes many of the oxygen atoms of the absorbed carbon dioxide to elemental oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. The carbon and some of the oxygen atoms from the absorbed carbon dioxide are incorporated into the structure of the tree as the tree grows.


Is that true about trees turn carbon dioxide into oxygen?

Yes. Trees take in carbon dioxide and water. Using sunlight they turn this into carbon, oxygen and sugar. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. This is called photosynthesis.


How does a redwood tree help a deer to live?

In a sense yes, but not necessarily, see a tree produces oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide. A deer takes in oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. So a tree, for instance a redwood, can provide oxygen that the deer needs in order to survive, and the deer produces carbon dioxide that a tree needs to survive.


Can you make a sentence using the word tree?

A Tree can produce oxygen as well has carbon-dioxide.


How can a tree prevent global warming?

It converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide traps heat so when the trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, it not only reduce the amount of heat by a bit but also give us oxygen to breathe in.


What is a pine tree oxygen uptake?

During photosynthesis, a pine tree takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of the pine tree's leaves, where carbon dioxide is converted into oxygen through the energy of sunlight. Oxygen is released as a byproduct of this process and helps to replenish the atmospheric oxygen levels.


Is a tree breathing?

YES!!!! A tree, like all plant life, breathes. From the green leaf of a tree, carbon dioxide is breathed in. When inside the plant/leaf/tree , it undergoes photosynthesis. There is a need for UV(Sunlight) for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis breaks down the carbon dioxide. into oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is breathed out, to maintain atmospheric oxygen, and the carbon stays in the tree/plant as biomass'. NB Animals/humans inhale oxygen , and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants inhale carbon dioxide , and exhale oxygen. It is all part of the carbon /oxygen cycle.


What is it called when a tree breathes is carbon dioxide and releases oxygen?

lucky for humans


What is taken in from the air by the tree?

maybe oxygen because it releases carbon dioxide


Are trees made of carbon?

About half the body weight of a tree is carbon. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stores the carbon, and releases the oxygen. As the tree grows, it stores more and more carbon.


How are the dog and the tree connected in the oxygen cycle?

A dog breathes in oxygen and then releases carbon dioxide when he exhales. Conversely, a tree gives off oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide. So the breath of the dog sustains the tree, while the output of oxygen from the tree sustains the dog.
