What gas is released by living things to the air that is utilized by plants?

Carbon Dioxide. Animals exhale carbon dioxide as a product of respiration. Plants principally utilise carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Plants may also respire in the absence of adequate sunlight, which is why keeping plants in the bedroom is not always a good idea.


How does carbon dioxide cycle between living things?

Humans breathe in oxygen, which plants produce, and breathe out carbon dioxide, which plants take in.


How does carbon dioxide leave the atmosphere and end up in living things?

One big way it leaves the atmosphere is by being consumed by living plants in the process of photosynthesis that results in sugars and other carbon-containing compounds like cellulose. Herbivores (plant-eaters) then consume these and integrate the carbon matter, so to speak, into their own systems.


What happens to carbon during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight and water.


Why is carbon the most critical to living things?

Carbon helps in the process of photosynthesis.Without plants,there is no life on earth.

What would happen if plants did not reproduce?

everything would die. the things that eat the plants would die. the things that eat things that eat the plants would die. the things that eat the things that eat the things that eat the plants would die. Also, plants would not perform photosynthesis, therefore, Earth would run out of oxygen and become filled with carbon dioxide.
