eat: photosynthesis
breathe: Not as we do, with lungs. which is an active process, but they do breathe by a passive process. Both plants and animals carry on a process called respiration which occurs on a cellular level and involves an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Plants mostly do this in their leaves, which in some ways are similar to our skin (which, incidentally, is the largest organ in our bodies).
The process by which all respiration takes place is called diffusion - plants 'breathe' through their leaves - the really cool thing is that they 'exhale' - ready? oxygen...which is why we want trees - because they breathe by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen for us to use in our bodies to do our own respiration.BTW - Animals breathe differently than plants. We do it in two places, in our lungs - as most people are aware - and also in our body tissues. Our lungs take in oxygen (that came from the plants respiration) and we put it in our blood, and at the same time release the carbon dioxide from the blood and put it into the atmosphere so the plants can use it. In addition, we also have a second type of breathing that occurs in all our bodies called tissue respiration. In our tissues, we take the oxygen from the blood and put it in the tissues, and at the same time take the carbon dioxide from the tissues and put it in the blood to be taken to the lungs.
What else can I help you with?
How do living things store carbon?
Carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, is converted by plants into sugars and starches during photosynthesis. The plants convert this into proteins etc.Animals then eat the plants....when they breath they get carbon dioxideand you get it when you eat a plant
How do plants and animals both survive in an airtight ecosystem?
The plants give the bugs the oxygen they need to breath. The bugs breath out carbon dioxide which the plants need.
Why do plants breath carbon dioxide?
Plants need them in the Calvin cycle
How are plants different than humans?
the Photosynthesi does not allow the ability of a plant cell to prouduce solar energy in carbon dioxide
Can animals use nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
no plants and animals cannot use nitrogen straight out of the air every time we take a breath you breath it in but it goes through nitrogen fixation to let us humans animals and plants to use it.
How do plants provide for the world?
Without plants there would be nothing to eat and nothing to breath.
What does plants breath to make food?
plants need water sun and air to make food for us to eat .
Do bushes breath?
yes bushes breath they are plants plants breath to
How do plants eat amd breath?
Well the process of which plants eat is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. This is when the plants use the sun's light to make their food. Also plants breathe in Carbon Dioxide and breathe out Oxygen which is beneficial to humans also.
What is better plants or animals?
no one in this world can answer this question . No animal can survive without plants and no plants can survive without animals because animals get their food to eat, air(oxygen) to breath from plants and many more, and plants also need air(Carbon Dioxide) to breath, nutrition from soil,etc.
Why is soil so important to humans and earths?
To plant plants. If not for plants, we wounld be dead! Plants make oxygen for us to breath. Also, when an animal eats it, like a chicken for intence eats corn, we eat the chicken. Or we could just eat the plants.
How do animals usually depend on plants?
animals usually depend on plants for oxygen. we breath out carbon dioxide and breath oxygen in, same with animals. and plants breath that carbon dioxide in and and breath out oxygen.
What type of air do you breath?
we breath in oxygen and plants breath co2
How do living things store carbon?

What are the importance of plants to animals?
Some animals couldn't survive without them because they are food, and if they are vegaterians, that's the only food they eat. They produce oxygen for them to breath, as plants do for humans.
Why animals need plants?
Plants breath in the CO2 we breath out and then turns it into O2 for us to breath in again, mutually beneficial.
Can you breathe oxygen?
Yes, you breath in oxygen that plants give off and breath out carbon dioxide that plants take in.
