Trees do NOT release Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
In the Carbon/Oxygen cycle animated life (humans animals) exhale CO2 in to the atmosphere. This CO2 is then inhaled by vegetative life ; green plants, trees, grass etc., Under the process of photosynthesis, the green plant breaks down (decomposes) CO2 into Oxygen(O2) and Carbon (Biomass.
The oxygen (O2) is then exhaled by the plant back into the atmosphere, and the carbon is converted into biomass ( part of the plant's own mass). The oxygen is then inhaled by animated life, and released (exhaled) as CO2 back into the atmosphere. The cycle then repeats.
NB 1. Photosynthesis only proceeds when their is UV light from the Sun. So at night, the process stops. However, it is a much faster process than animated CO2 production because the atmosphere contains ~20% oxygen but only ~0.004% CO2.
NNB 2. CO2 is a heavy gas and falls to the ground, where all green plants live.
It is a natural and very efficient process, so order to limit CO2 in the atmosphere we should grow as much plant material as possible.
What else can I help you with?
What burns and gives off water and carbon dioxide?
A hydrocarbon like methane, propane, or gasoline burns in the presence of oxygen to give off water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a common chemical reaction that occurs during combustion.
Do rotting trees give off methane?
Yes, rotting trees can emit methane gas as they decompose. This is because the breakdown of organic material in anaerobic conditions can result in the production of methane as a byproduct. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
What do plants give off as a waste product but they need carbon dioxide to survive?
Plants give off oxygen as a waste product through the process of photosynthesis, where they use carbon dioxide to produce energy. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for many living organisms, including humans, to breathe and survive.
Which gas is given off when rainforests are burned?
In the presence of sunlight, trees take in carbon dioxideand water and exhale oxygen. This is called photosynthesis and is why trees are important to us humans.The trees also respire. Respiration is the process by which any cell combines sugar and/or starches with oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and water with a release of energy. This takes place in all cells, including plants - with or without the presence of sunlight. The effect of photosynthesis and respiration together is to make trees net absorbers of carbon dioxide. In one year a mature tree will use approximately 22 kg more CO2 than it gives off through respiration, and will give off approximately 16 kg more O2 than it uses in respiration. (Related to this subject is NASA's research that average human oxygen consumption is approximately 0.84 kg/day or 307 kg/year. At this rate it requires nearly 20 mature trees to support the breathing of each human.)
How does planting trees minimize global warming?
Trees use the carbon dioxide in the air to grow. And that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, which reduces the green house effect. They need Carbon Dioxide in order to photosynthesize. Since CO2 is the leading contributor to global warming, having the trees take it out of the atmosphere to be converted into oxygen, slows the process somewhat.
Do eucalyptus trees give off Carbon Dioxide?
Yes, eucalyptus trees undergo the process of photosynthesis where they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. So, in general, eucalyptus trees do not give off carbon dioxide.
Which tree not give oxygen?
All trees give oxygen; it is a result of the trees "inhaling" carbon dioxide. Just like how humans give off carbon dioxide when they exhale, trees also give off carbon dioxide. So all trees give off oxygen to the environment-its a natural result of trees trying to survive.
Where do trees eat?
trees breath in carbon dioxide through their leaves and then give off oxygen so we can breath
Do trees need other trees for oxygen?
Trees do not consume oxygen. They consume carbon dioxide, and give off oxygen.
Why do you need trees in a short explanation?
Trees breathe carbon dioxide- which we exhale- and they give off oxygen- which we need to survive.
Do you need trees to live?
Technically, I believe we do need trees to live. As we give off carbon dioxide, the trees and plants give off oxygen. Without them, we would die. Trees also have many uses.
Can you survive with out trees or plants?
No, because plants clean the air of carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
How do monkeys give off carbon dioxide?
Monkeys give off carbon dioxide when they exhale - the same as humans do!
How do trees fit in to the scheme of life?
trees give off carbon dioxide which is converted to oxygen, in which we need in order to breathe. the trees help us breathe!
What operation is for carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide is exhaled by all living animals, even humans. The build up of Carbon Dioxide is poisonous but it's needed for this operation.Plant life, like trees, grass, flowers, etc., feed off of Carbon Dioxide, and they give off Oxygen. So what animals exhale, plants feed on and give us air in return.
Do I give off carbon dioxide?
Yes. You breathe in oxygen which is produced by trees. You then exfoliate Co2 which the trees turn back into oxygen during the day.
What provides oxygen and removes carbon dioxide?
Trees and other natural habitats give off oxygen and we remove the carbon dixocide out of our bodies
