Plants can fix CO2 and that makes them important in the efforts to combat excessive carbon emissions to the air. Plants are seen to be important in carbon sequestration.
"fix" carbon dioxide? If turning CO2 into oxygen is what you meant. They are called plants. Better go with the green ones. They use light, CO2 and H2O as food and ends up producing O2 or oxygen.
Plants use water and dissolved minerals from the soil but the majority of the organic material comes from the carbon they fix by photosynthesis from atmospheric CO2
No. Plants emit their own CO2 through respiration.
no,they do not
Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants. CAM plants have adapted their carbon fixation process to avoid water loss during the day by keeping stomata closed, and perform photosynthesis during the night when conditions are cooler and less water loss occurs.
CAM plants
There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.

The primary source of carbon for carbon fixation in plants is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. In photosynthesis, plants use the enzyme RuBisCO to fix CO2 into organic molecules, eventually producing glucose for energy.
No. Plants emit their own CO2 through respiration.
if theres no co2 all the plants will die because they need CO2 (and sunlight) to do photosynthesis
no,they do not
I believe they are all C3 plants. This means they take CO2 directly from the air to use in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
