No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere:

Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen

Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

Photosynthesis removes Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This is why we call forests a carbon "sink".

Do plants take in carbon dioxide from the air?

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis, and oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


What 2 processes that cause carbon to move out of the atmosphere?

photosynthesis: plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and use it to build carbohydrates.dissolving: carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and oceans.


Does plant breed out carbon dioxide?

If you mean 'breathe' out, then no. They take in carbon dioxide, and with the presence of water, go through photosynthesis and convert it into oxygen and carbohydrates, which they then release into the atmosphere.


What do plants absorb soil from?

AnswerPlants take Carbon Dioxide from the air by photosynthesis and replace it with oxygen


How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere changing if there were no plants?

There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.


How does carbon dioxide enter living things?

Animals, including humans, take in carbon whenever we eat. Some of this is released when we breathe out. Vegetation, including trees, take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They store the carbon and release the oxygen.


Plants need this gas for photosynthesis?

Plants take in carbon dioxide and, through photosynthesis, produce oxygen.


During what process do plants and other organisms take in carbon dioxide?

Green plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and give out oxygen. While respiration, all living organisms take in oxygen and carbon dioxide and then give out carbon dioxide.


How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change of theres no plants?

There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.


When does carbon enter the ecosystem?

plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis


How oxygen is returned to the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are absorbed by plants. A plant separates the oxygen from the carbon, uses the carbon for growth material and releases the oxygen into the atmosphere.


Can photosynthesis take place even there is no carbon dioxide?

no
