When animals and people breathe, they give off carbon dioxide into the air
During Photosynthesis, plants and trees give off oxygen into the air.
Leaves and needles take in carbondioxide from the air.
Humans and animals use the oxygen in the air in order to breathe.
Trees use carbon dioxide+water+energy from the sun to make simple sugars which are "food" for the tree. This process is called photosynthesis.
