O2 stands for oxygen.
CO2 stands for carbon dioxide.
They are gases.

Plants and animals are connected.
They are connected by the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle.

Animals need oxygen to breathe.
Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis.

Animals breathe out carbon dioxide.
Plants need carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis.

They release oxygen (O2).
They perform the photosynthesis.

PLANTS | AT NIGHT – RESPIRATION
They release carbon dioxide (CO2).
They uptake oxygen (O2).
They carry out the process of respiration.
