Plants mainly remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They convert this (CO2) through photosynthesis into sugars. Some of these sugars are used to grow more of the plant, others are used as food. When a plant uses the sugars as food, carbon dioxide is emitted as a waste product (just like our breathing). This carbon dioxide is emitted day and night, but because they also take in CO2 during the day, most of this is a nocturnal emission (at night).

What is it that Plants and animals take in and then give off?

Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Animals take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. This exchange of gases is essential for the survival of both plants and animals.


Why is it important that plants give off carbon dioxide?

I think you have it backwards. Plants actually absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. It's obvious why it's important they give off oxygen.


What thing must plants get from animals?

Plants must have carbon dioxide from animals. Animals give off carbon dioxide when they breathe and plants give off oxygen so it's a fair exchange.


What energy does plants give off?

oxygen and carbon dioxide.


Do plants give off carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their natural processes?

No, plants do not give off carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their natural processes. Instead, they release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.


Why does cellular respiration adds carbon dioxide to the air but photosynthesis does not?

Because photosynthesis is for plants and plants give off oxygen, not carbon dioxide.


What do we as people give off to plants?

Life giving carbon dioxide.


How does a fox take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide by?

A fox takes in oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide via the carbon dioxide cycle. All plants and animals are part of the carbon dioxide cycle. However, plants do things a little differently and take in carbon dioxide to use for photosynthesis. This results in plants giving off oxygen.


What do animals to give off that plants need?

Animals give off carbon dioxide, which is essential for photosynthesis in plants. Plants use carbon dioxide, along with sunlight and water, to produce oxygen and carbohydrates for energy. This exchange of gases between animals and plants helps to maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the environment.


What does carbon dioxide play for all living things?

CO2 in the atmosphere is necessary for life to exist on Earth. Plants use Carbon Dioxide and give off oxygen to produce food in the process of photosynthesis. Plants and animals give off Carbon Dioxide as a waste product.


What two elements do plants produce?

carbon dioxide and give off the oxygen


Is it true that during photosynthesis plants give off carbon dioxide?

No it is not true
