Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis to prepare food. During this process, plants release oxygen which is used by human beings and animals. Thus animals and human beings help each other in the exchange of gases.

Plants and animals help each other in the exchange of gases in the atmosphere Plants take carbon dioxide to prepare food and release oxygen during daytime. This oxygen is taken in by animals and carbon dioxide is released. Thus, plants and animals help in maintaining balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
