If they are decomposing dead plant material then it is made of carbon compounds that are forms of glucose, basically. So, CO2 would be released when these compounds are metabolized.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O

In what form is carbon Dioxide taken by plant to produce their food?

Carbon dioxide is absorbed as a gas by the leaves of the plant.

carbon dioxide that plant use


Is carbon dioxide a waste for a plant?

No, Carbon dioxide is used by the plant to produce sugars during photosysnthesis. In this reaction Oxygen is a waste or by-product


Do photosynthetic produce carbon dioxide?

Yes it lets it all out from the plant


What are uses of plant to us?

plants use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen


Do plants using sunlight produce carbon dioxide?

No, they produce oxygen which humans breathe in. then we breathe out carbon dioxide giving to the plant so the cycle may start again.


How does carbon dioxide enter a plant during the process of photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters a plant through small openings called stomata on the leaves. The carbon dioxide is then absorbed by the plant's cells and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.


in which part plant produce oxygen?

The same as a land plant, by photosynthesis.


How does carbon dioxide influence how plants produce glucose?

Carbon dioxide levels influence how many sugars(glucose) a plant can produce greatly. This is because 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide will release a sugar through series of reactions. So if you have many carbon dioxide molecules it makes it a lot easier for a plant or any other photoautotroph.


What if a plant does photosynthesis if it doesnt have carbon dioxide?

Plants need carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis. Without carbon dioxide, the plant would not be able to produce glucose, a key energy source. As a result, the plant's growth and development would be severely stunted.


Is carbon dioxide a waste product for plants?

No, Carbon dioxide is used by the plant to produce sugars during photosysnthesis. In this reaction Oxygen is a waste or by-product


How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through tiny openings on their leaves called stomata. The stomata allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant, where it is used in the process of photosynthesis to produce food for the plant.
