No, meat eaters are responsible for more carbon dioxide than vegetarians. Cattle belch a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas more powerful than carbon dioxide.

What energy source would produce the most carbon dioxide?

Burning coal produces the most carbon dioxide compared to other energy sources due to its high carbon content. When coal is burned, it releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.


Why do appliances produce carbon dioxide?

Appliances don't exactly produce carbon dioxide (CO2), but they are responsible for CO2 emissions. Appliances run on electricity, and most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning emits CO2, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.


Photosynthesis enables plants to produce most of the organic molecules they need. This process requires?

Water, light and carbon dioxide


Is carbon dioxide carbohydrates?

Yes. Carbon is the most abundant element found in living things.


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.

Which animal produces the most carbon dioxide?

Most animals produce carbon dioxide at relatively the same rate. The animals that produce the most carbon dioxide are the ones that must breathe the most rapidly.


Do Factory's make carbon dioxide?

Only factories that use and burn coal produce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Forest fires and humans produce the most carbon dioxide.


How do most animals produce carbon dioxide-?

Most animals produce carbon dioxide through a process called cellular respiration. During this process, cells break down glucose to obtain energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the body through respiration or other methods like diffusion in aquatic animals.


What is the greenhouse gas that humans produce the most of?

CO2 or Carbon Dioxide.


What takes in carbon dioxide?

Plants, algae, and some bacteria are known to take in carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. In this biological process, carbon dioxide is used by these organisms to produce energy and organic compounds.


Can plants live without man and animals without plants?

No, because man and animals produce carbon dioxide and plants needs carbon dioxide.


What consumes the most atmospheric carbon dioxide?

Trees and other growing vegetation remove the most carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What molecule carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.


Does a chemical reaction happen in burning and respiration?

Yes, most carbon containing compounds or pure carbon burn 'chemically' to produce carbond dioxide.
