When they're exposed to light, green plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture living matter and release oxygen into the air. This process is called photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced through the respiration of animals and plants, which consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Answer:

Plants use carbon dioxide in a process known as photosynthesis. In this process Plans give off oxygen as a waste product carbon dioxide moves from the air into the leaves of plants through tiny openings in the plants leaves

Animals and plants are connected to each other by the oxygen Carbon dioxide cycle
