(chemical formula CO2)

A colorless gas, carbon dioxide has a

faint, sharp odor and a slightly sour taste.
Each molecule of carbon dioxide consists
of one atom of carbon and two atoms of
oxygen. Its chemical formula is CO2.

Carbon dioxide makes up about 0.03

percent of the air. Slight as that amount is,
plants and animals depend upon it for life.
Green plants make their nutrients with it.
They combine the carbon dioxide with
water to make
