The correct answer to this question is photosynthesis. Though carbon dioxide is an important part of photosynthesis occurring, the process of photosynthesis does not produce any carbon dioxide. When it comes to carbon dioxide, it is a vital aspect of plants being able to make food so that they can live.

As far as photosynthesis, this a process that releases oxygen. The oxygen that is released is what helps people breathe. Without oxygen, people are not able to breathe and people will not be able live. Oxygen is vital, because without it, in minutes, a person would die. Animals also require oxygen.

Photosynthesis does not produce carbon dioxide. During the procedure of photosynthesis, the plant takes in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within a plant cell, the water is oxidized, which means that it loses electrons, while carbon dioxide is diminished, meaning it advances electrons.

This process turns the water into oxygen, utilizing a complicated process. The rate constraining steps of the dark stage of photosynthesis are the chemical reactions by which organic compounds are created by using carbon dioxide as a carbon source. It only takes in carbon dioxide but does not produce it because plants operate through cell respiration, which does not need sunlight for it to occur.

A lot of substances do not emit carbon dioxide. Renewable energy is known to lack the presence of CO2. Examples are solar, wind, and so on. Most renewable energies do not burn, which omits them from the production of carbon dioxide. Unlike non-renewable energy such as oil, fossil fuels, coal, and so on, that emit carbon dioxide.

Another process that does not produce CO2 is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis does not produce carbon dioxide because it needs to be present for photosynthesis to take place. Photosynthesis is an important factor in the production of plant food. Photosynthesis leads to the production of oxygen that humans breathe in.

C02 is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide. It is an important gas in the world, but not all forms of energy use this gas. Many of the renewable sources that we are familiar with today are carbon-free. One of those is solar energy. This type of energy takes light from the sun to produce its own type of energy.

You may see this in solar lights, and there are also homes that run completely off of solar power. Another type of energy that does not contact carbon dioxide is wind energy. As the name suggests, it uses the wind from the atmosphere to create energy.

Photosynthesis does not produce carbon dioxide, although plants procure carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. The carbon dioxide circulates through small holes in the bottom of the leaf called stomata.

The lower part of the leaf was loose-fitting cells to allow carbon dioxide to reach the other cells in the leaf. This process also permits the oxygen made in photosynthesis to escape the leaves within the plant cells where water is oxidized, increasing electrons.

The plant then distributes the oxygen back into the air, storing energy within the glucose molecules. Carbon dioxide cannot pass through the protective waxy layer covering the leaf. An increase in temperature will speed up photosynthesis, as is the case in most chemical reactions.

Photosynthesis is something that will not produce carbon dioxide. Do remember that carbon dioxide is important to ensure that photosynthesis will take place. This is one of the needed ingredients so that plants can make enough food in order to sustain themselves. As a result of photosynthesis, oxygen will be released which is the reason why people are able to breathe.

Human beings would need oxygen in order to live. Without oxygen, they will die within minutes. Animal respiration will provide carbon dioxide because this is being released by animals and humans after taking in oxygen. Burning fossil fuels will produce carbon dioxide too which is why people say that this is harmful.

Some processes do not produce CO2 because they don't emit carbon dioxide whenever they are generating energy. For Instance, most renewable energy sources do not produce carbon dioxide, usually because of the reason stated above. Examples of renewable energy sources that are carbon-free are wind, hydroelectric, and solar.

Unlike other sources of energy, some of these renewable energy sources do not burn. Also, most of them do not create any pollution or emissions. This is in contrast to most non-renewable energy sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels. This is because when they burn, they produce greenhouse gas emissions.

In biology, there are different biological reactions that do not produce carbon dioxide. A perfect example is Lactate fermentation, a type of anaerobic respiration. This reaction only produces lactic acid. Unlike other types of anaerobic respiration, lactate fermentation does not produce carbon dioxide.
