How do plant help the environment????

Answer 1

Plants exhale oxygen which other living things including humans inhale and inhale carbon dioxide from the environment which helps in keeping environment clean. Plants are also very helpful in floods by slowing down the pressure of water and keeping the dirt on place.

Answer 2

Yeah, but fossil fuels are no longer being made because the environment isn't right to make them anymore. So once we use up our supplies, they're gone.

Yes, plants suck up CO2 and give off oxygen. Some also even absorb pollutants, like volatile organic compounds (think paint and solvents), soot, smog, stuff like that. Nasty stuff. They also provide shade so everything doesn't get burnt up by the sun. They provide food and shelter for most animals and they also concentrate and store nutrients (like, say, plants in the pea family, Fabaceae take nitrogen from the air and store it in the ground.) to make the dirt healthier and more productive when you want to grow something (better to plant a cover crop of vetch or something than use chemical fertilizers to enrich the soil with nitrogen.)

Plants are handy suckers. Go, plants!

Answer 3

plants help the environment by breathing in carbon dioxide and breathing out oxygen

Answer 4

Plants take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen. We breathe oxygen. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes global warming, therefore, if we have plants to get rid of the carbon dioxide, we can reduce global warming.

Answer 5

Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They also convert minerals to forms more digestable to animals (when was the last time you ate dirt for lunch? or how about a salad instead?).

Answer 6

plants help the environment by releasing oxygen and as a food source to other animals who may be herbivores or omnivores

Answer 7

The other answers got it partially right. When the plants take in CO2 it is part of the earth's recycle system. The plant grows bigger with the more CO2 that it converts for us. This is the beginning of another recycle system of our fossil fuels. The plants grow bigger and when they die their leaves and parts wash down the river to the delta where it deteriorates to form more gas ,oil,and coal. where do u think the original fossil fuels came from. Mother nature has done this for millions of years.

Answer 8

Plants do the reverse of most animals - they "breathe in" carbon dioxide and "breathe out" oxygen. Without them, we would have become extinct long ago.

Answer 9

sounds like a homework question to me...to put it vaguely they change carbon dioxide and give out oxygen which is good for the environment...they help reduce carbon dioxide emissions

Answer 10

oxygen is one reason. and they make the environment look great! haha
