Do plant produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, for the most part, all life as we (humanity) understand it, produces carbon dioxide. HOWEVER, Plants generally produce a NET NEGATIVE amount of carbon dioxide. Animals breathe in Oxygen, use this to burn stored energy and perform work within the body, and in the process bond the oxygen to carbon producing carbon dioxide which is exhaled. Plants do the same thing. they absorb oxygen, and use it in the process of burning energy to fuel growth, repair, produce fruit, etc. The misconception is common that plants do not use oxygen and do not create carbon dioxide. This stems from the process of photosynthesis, wherein the plant absorbs carbon dioxide from its surrounding atmosphere, uses it in converting light energy to a form usable by the plant, and in so doing separates the carbon and oxygen atoms, 'breaking' the carbon dioxide. The oxygen is then released back into the environment, In most plants, they consume more carbon dioxide and produce more oxygen than the reverse. As a result, the plant takes in more carbon dioxide than it expels, and as such 'effectively' (but not literally) producing no carbon dioxide.


What three thing do plants need to carry out photosynthesis?

Plants need light, water, and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the plant’s cells, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


What is the only thing that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

photosynthesis


How does the burning of fossil fuels impact the carbon cycle?

Power plants burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) add to global warming. Global warming puts more heat (energy) into the atmosphere. This will probably mean a wetter atmosphere and increased precipitation.


How does the carbon dioxide form in calving cycle?

Carbon dioxide doesn't form in the Calvin Cycle (I assume you're referring that because there isn't such a thing as the "Calving Cycle" in biochemistry. Carbon dioxide must be taken in by the plant via the stomata and it is then used by the plant in photosynthesis. Clearly, this is why plants rely on carbon dioxide to complete the Calvin cycle and in large, photosynthesis. ~ nkindianhobo ~

One thing plants need for photosynthesis?

What thing must plants get from animals?

Plants must have carbon dioxide from animals. Animals give off carbon dioxide when they breathe and plants give off oxygen so it's a fair exchange.


What happens to plants with out plants?

if plants are polluted the die and carbon-dioxide will increase and if carbon dioxide increased the air will be polluted and it will be polluted and also plants will get poisonous and if any living thing ate this plants they will get very bad deceases causing to death

water, sunlight, carbon dioxide


What gas is released by living thing to the air that is utilized by plants?

Carbon Dioxide. Animals exhale carbon dioxide as a product of respiration. Plants principally utilise carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Plants may also respire in the absence of adequate sunlight, which is why keeping plants in the bedroom is not always a good idea.


What living thing takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

How do plants improve air?

Plants provide a thing called oxygen,which happens to be what we breath.So it gets rid of carbon dioxide and replaces it with oxygen.

Carbon dioxide Is another thing plants need for Photosynthesis!:)


What good does it do?

IT Helps the enviroment.Plants have some thing to trap Carbon Dioxide,(carbon dioxide is bad for humans and animals but not to plants)Then It releases Oxygen which is good for humans and animals.So I say LET'S PLANT SOME MORE!


Why is earth having carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a necessary element for the survival of all living things, and it is produced by organisms such as plants and trees. It combines with hydrogen to create oxygen which no living thing can live without.
