The plants would have a harder time growing. Carbon Dioxide is similar for plants as Oxygen is for people. However, plants can often adapt to changes in "air quality" much better then people can.

Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
Do plants give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen or do plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide?
Plants give out oxygen (from the breakdown of water) and take in carbon dioxide, which they use to form carbohydrates in the process of photosynthesis.However, at night and in darker conditions, plants still need energy, and use cellular respiration as animals do, taking in some oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This is normally much less chemical activity than photosynthesis, so green plants release much more oxygen than they use.
Is carbon dioxide stored in plants and animals?
There are two very basic reactions that can be said to support life on this earth. One is photosynthesis, which happens in plants. In photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and water and convert it to glucose and oxygen. Overall, photosynthesis requires energy, gathered from sunlight. This energy essentially winds up stored in the glucose. Usually, the glucose will wind up being stored in more complex sugars and starches. The other reaction is respiration, which releases the energy from glucose. This reaction requires oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide and water. Plants and animals use this reaction to provide the energy that they need. So, anything that stores glucose or its more complex forms does store carbon. However, animals take in glucose and break it down, thus releasing carbon dioxide, while plants tend to absorb much more carbon dioxide than they release. Thus, both plants and animals do store carbon, but only plants will actually absorb carbon dioxide and store that carbon.
How does carbon dioxide differ from carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is one carbon atom with two oxygen atoms. When you breath, you exhale carbon dioxide, as do all animals. Plants require carbon dioxide to grow; essentially they need it the way animals need oxygen. If you get too much carbon dioxide in a confined space, you can suffocate as it will displace the oxygen. Carbon monoxide is one carbon atom with one oxygen atom. It is the result of incomplete combustion of organic materials such as wood, gasoline, etc. It interferes with the ability of your blood to transport oxygen. If you breath enough of it you can loose consciousness and die. That is what happens if people sit in a closed garage with the car running.
Can plants absorb the excess carbon in the atmosphere?
A:In a natural balance, plants absorb as much carbon dioxide (CO2) as animals exhale, keeping the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide at the long-term average of around 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm). Human activities have increased this level to 380 ppm since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and rising fat. This itself is evidence that plants simply can not absorb the additional carbon dioxide load in the atmosphere. Moreover, our continuing destruction of forests actually reduces the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide, and is one important reason for the rising CO2 levels.
What things are carbon dioxide in?
Our body, plants this is how much i now
What happens when carbon dioxide is breathed in by penguins?
Same thing that happens to you. Not much.
What would happen if much carbon dioxide in the air is not used by plants in food making?
When there is too much carbon dioxide collecting in the air and the plants do not use it up, it may grow to toxic proportions. The content of oxygen will reduce in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide.
What negative effects does carbon dioxide have on plants?
Carbon dioxide is good for plants; they use it as an ingredient of photosynthesis. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is thought to cause global warming, but it does not directly harm plants. Indirectly, global warming causes changes in rain patterns which are harmful to some plants in some locations.
Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
What is carbon dioxide narcosis?
Carbon dioxide narcosis happens when people have too much oxygen. It builds up in the body and becomes toxic
Why do plants and animals depend on each other so much?
plants provide food and plants provide carbon dioxide
Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?
No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.
How does carbon dioxide enter underwater plants?
Carbon dioxide is present in water from fish respiration and the breaking down of organics such as rotting leaves. As far as how they assimilate it, it's pretty much the same as terrestrial plants. Absorbsion through their leaves, roots, etc.
Is carbon dioxide a good thing or a bad thing?
Well, carbon dioxide is both good and bad. Carbon dioxide for humans is bad because to much of it for us can be fatal and lead to suffocation. But, it is good for plants.
Do plants give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen or do plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide?
Plants give out oxygen (from the breakdown of water) and take in carbon dioxide, which they use to form carbohydrates in the process of photosynthesis.However, at night and in darker conditions, plants still need energy, and use cellular respiration as animals do, taking in some oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This is normally much less chemical activity than photosynthesis, so green plants release much more oxygen than they use.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
