Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to manufacture glucose; this is where the carbon in the equation comes from.

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

Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen Animals take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide


How do plants give off carbon dioxide?

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).


How do plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in atmosphere?

During the process of photosynthesis release oxygen and animals (we) inhale oxygen and release carbondioxide. This is how plants and animals depend on each other by symbiosys. Hope that helps...


What do animals and man get carbon from?

Carbon exists as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. All food chains start with plants so herbivores get carbon by eating plants and carnivores get carbon by eating herbivores.


How do animals obtain carbon to be used in cellular processes?

During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide from the air and get energy from the sunlight to prepare their own food. The carbon is thereafter converted into carbon compounds in the plants. Animals primarily live by consuming plants, or eating other animals, and thereby get the carbonrequired for their life processes.
