It can be used by animals as a source of oxygen.

It can be used by both plants and animals to produce energy.

|
It can be used by plants during photosynthesis to create glucose.

Detailed explanation-1: -When animals break down glucose to create energy, they release water and carbon dioxide (CO2.) How can carbon dioxide (CO2) be reused within the food web? It can be used by animals as a source of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
Detailed explanation-3: -During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration. Respiration is also the process by which once-living (organic) organisms are decomposed.
Detailed explanation-4: -During cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to release energy and to form carbon dioxide and water. Most of the carbon dioxide in animals is released into the air when the animal breathes. This carbon dioxide can then be used by plants for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-5: -carbon from dissolved carbon dioxide in the water. This CO2 is released into the water by aquatic animals due to cellular respiration. glucose (C6 H12O6) and other carbohydrates. and by waste products and decay of dead organisms.
