Cows, and cattle rearing, have a carbon footprint, but it's caused mostly from the amount of methane they belch. They don't do much to increase carbon dioxide levels.

Why do plants cows and humans make carbon dioxide?

Plants don't make carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen. Humans and cattle, like all animals, produce carbon dioxide because we need oxygen in our bodies to function properly and live, and in order to do so oxygen gets converted into carbon dioxide which must be excreted or exhaled out of our systems so that more oxygen can be drawn back in.


What gasses do cows release?

Cows are ruminants and have an active microbial population in their guts which releases methane. They also release some nitrogen from swallowed air, water vapour, and carbon dioxide.


Why do you have to kill cows to reduce carbon dioxide?

Cows contribute to carbon dioxide emissions primarily through their methane production during digestion. Reducing the number of cows means less methane being released into the atmosphere, helping to lower overall greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.


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 ~


Carbon dioxide build up in your atmosphere for two reasons what is the best example of the prob?

The best example of carbon dioxide build up in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas for energy production. Additionally, deforestation and land use changes also contribute to increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and climate change.

Do cows breath out oxygen?

Yes, but in the form of carbon dioxide, with contains two atoms of oxygen and one of carbon. Cows don't breathe out the pure form of oxygen; they breathe in oxygen as well as nitrogen from the atmosphere.

How do cows help photosynthesis in plants?

Just like you the expel a lot of carbon dioxide due to respiration.


What happens to the carbon when plants are eaten by animals?

Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.


What two gases do living things make?

Cows can produce both methane and carbon dioxide through their natural, bodily systems.


Is cow realese oxygen during breathin?

No, PLANTS release oxygen when they breathe. Cows, like humans, release CARBON DIOXIDE when they exhale.

What is the gas cows give off?

Flatulence (fart) is composed mostly of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, plus some carbon dioxide and a small amount of Methane.

Where do most of the emission that pollute the air come from?

A lot of carbon dioxide emissions are from cars and factories. However, an often overlooked source of greenhouse gas (methane) is cows. Cows actually add more to the greenhouse effect than cars do.
