How plants and animals interact in the CO2/O cycle?

• Plants release O into the atmosphere which animals inhale. Animals exhale CO2 into the atmosphere which is breath in by plants.

• Animals release O into the atmosphere which plants inhale. Plants exhale CO2 into the atmosphere which is breath in by animals.

• Plants and animals don't need each other.

• Plants and animals take in O and release CO2.
