Yes, humans release carbon dioxide when they die, primarily due to the natural processes of decomposition. After death, microbial activity breaks down organic matter, leading to the release of gases, including carbon dioxide, as a byproduct. This process is part of the overall cycle of nutrients and carbon in the ecosystem.

What do plants do with the oxygen they make from photosynthesis?
The oxygen that plants make is taken up by humans. The humans take the oxygen and transform it into carbon dioxide. When the humans do this then the plants take it and change it back into oxygen. This is a never-ending cycle, without plants, humans and animals would die out, without humans and animals, plants would die out.
Do whales release carbon dioxide?
Yes, whales do release carbon dioxide, primarily when they exhale. Like all mammals, they breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration. Additionally, when whales die and their bodies sink to the ocean floor, they can release stored carbon back into the environment, contributing to the carbon cycle. Overall, while their direct emissions are relatively small, their role in the marine ecosystem has implications for carbon sequestration.
If all the trees got cut down what would be the carbon dioxide levels be?
If all trees were cut down, the carbon dioxide levels would likely increase significantly. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis, so their removal would disrupt this balance, leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. This rise in carbon dioxide could contribute to global warming and climate change.
Names of gases around the home?
carbon dioxide, you will die by this.
What functions do plants have in the carbon cycle?
While plants are alive, they are net consumers of carbon. They take carbon dioxide from the air or water and fix it into their own tissues for long-term storage and growth. They also release carbon dioxide into the air during respiration and photorespiration, but this is less than they take in during photosynthesis. When plants die or drop their leaves for winter, this carbon dioxide is released as microbes digest the tissues of the plant. Plants that are cleared may be burned by humans - this also releases carbon dioxide and monoxide. Plants during the carboniferous geological era became buried under what eventually became rock, and instead of being digested by microbes as usual, oil, gas and coal were produced by the high-pressure conditions. When humans find this coal, oil and gas and burn it for fuel, carbon dioxide fixed by the plant millions of years in the past is once again released into the atmosphere.
What will happen if the supply of carbon dioxide is permamently cut off?
Plants "breathe" carbon dioxide. They use it in photosynthesis. If carbon dioxide was completely wiped out, plants would die. During photosynthesis, plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, which we humans breathe. Once the plants die, humans would also die from lack of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is not something we should try to get rid of completely. The bulk of the carbon dioxide is created by nature. Man produces 3 to 6% of the CO2, the rest is natural.
On the nutrition label for Poland Spring sparkling water it has CO2 carbon dioxide how can humans get an intake on that if that's what you can die from and what we breathe out?
Carbon monoxide is what people die from, Carbon dioxide is used to produce the bubbles in sodas and sparkling waters.
When trees die do they release stored up carbon dioxide?
Well, trees don't really store carbon dioxide; they use the carbon dioxide directly to produce sugars during the Calvin cycle. When decomposers eat up those sugars, they release the carbon in the sugars in the form of carbon dioxide.
How would earth be different without carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Humans would die of cold. A little carbon dioxide keeps the earth warm, through the greenhouse effect.
How does carbon get from living thing and into the atmosphere?
When living organisms die, they decompose, releasing carbon into the soil and air. Additionally, during respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Human activities like burning fossil fuels also contribute to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Who or what will be affected most if there were no carbon dioxide in the air?
Plants would die, humans would get super stimulated. Plants love, and only breathe in, carbon dioxide. Humans can become hyper-active or overstimulated with nearly pure air, or Oxygen.
If the air had no carbon dioxide what would happen?
First, all of the plants and trees would die. Then all the animals, including humans; would die.
Which is more dangerous carbon dioxide or water and why?
Carbon Dioxide because without water you die and with carbon dioxide(concentrated in large amounts) you will have trouble breathing, or possibly die.
How are all animals like as heterotrophs?
Heterotrophic simply means 'Pertaining to the utilization of organic compounds as source of carbon', or in other words, the animals are made of part carbon. Even humans are. When we die, our bodies break down and release carbon into the air, and, mixing with oxygen, makes carbon dioxide.
Plants breath in which gas?
Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, which is their process of converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. This process occurs in the presence of sunlight and helps plants generate energy for growth and survival.
What do plants do with the oxygen they make from photosynthesis?
The oxygen that plants make is taken up by humans. The humans take the oxygen and transform it into carbon dioxide. When the humans do this then the plants take it and change it back into oxygen. This is a never-ending cycle, without plants, humans and animals would die out, without humans and animals, plants would die out.
How plants photosynthesise that is useful to humans?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen and uses carbon dioxide. So if there weren't plants on Earth, then there would be too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen in the air; therefore, we would probably die.
