Detailed explanation-1: -Animals, during respiration, take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide gas. Plants, on the other hand, utilize this carbon dioxide gas in the process of photosynthesis to produce food and release oxygen in the atmosphere. Thus, we can say that plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Here is the super hero part. Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants take up carbon dioxide from air and give out oxygen during photosynthesis. Animals take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide during respiration. This maintains a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -They take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide.
