Based on the average of 7.5 to 13 kg per year, divide that by 365, and you get and answer of roughly 0.020 and 0.036 kg per day.

∙ 15y agoamount of co2 accepted & o2 released by plants depends upon various factors like : 1. co2 concentration in atmosphere 2. water available to the plant 3. no. of leaves present on the plant ( i.e. no. of chloroplast ) 4. intensity of light 5. region where the plant is grown 6. temperature etc. hence, it is not possible to find an average amount of co2 accepted and o2 liberated by plants as it is also dependent on no. of leaves present on plant. A tree can absorb about 50lbs of CO2 per year

∙ 11y agoIt depends upon the size of the plant. Much of a plant's mass is actually water. A single blade of grass does not weigh much, and all the carbon it absorbs during a summer of growth is released in the winter when the blade dies, save for what is kept in the root.
A typical tree might weigh three quarters of a ton, of which roughly 50% will be carbon. Denser woods like oak would absorb more. 0.5 x 1500 lbs is 750 lbs of carbon.
If the tree survives 500 years, that carbon remains sequestered that length of time. If the tree is sawed into lumber, the lumber continues to sequester the carbon, unless the house built from it burns down or is demolished for some new structure. Wood homes typically last about a century. Meanwhile, the acreage from which that lumber was taken is used to grow more lumber, pulling more CO2 from the atmosphere. The drawback is that fuel is expended to harvest the trees, transport and saw them to lumber, and so on. The net gain may not be that great.

∙ 11y agoTrees absorb CO2, then break it apart, releasing the oxygen. About half the mass of a tree is carbon, so a full grown redwood weighing two tons would have pulled nearly three tons of CO2 out of the air.
It should be noted though that these same trees will release CO2 when they die and decompose or burn. The net result is be far less when the cycle is complete.

How does the plant get the carbon dioxide it needs?
A plant acquires water from precipitation (specifically rain), runoff, or moving water bodies. Carbon dioxide is ever-present in the atmosphere. Plants simply absorb it from the air around them.
What is the major source of weight gain in a growing plant?
carbon dioxide
How plants obsorb carbon dioxide?
Plants absorb CO2 for the creation of glucose in photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 = C6H12O6 + 6 O2 So if you put in six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules you get one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules in return. Glucose is used by plants to respirate, like animals. Plants don't just absorb CO2, though, they also use it. Like other living creatures, when they respirate they turn Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide.
Where does the plant get the carbon to make plant structures?
For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
Which process in plant produces carbon dioxide?
I'm afraid that would be impossible as plants take in carbon dioxide and produces oxygen not carbon dioxide
Where does the plant obtain carbon dioxide and water?
the roots of the plant absorb the water from the soil. the stomata in the leaves absorb carbon dioxide
How do plant absorb carbon dioxide?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide through pores on the leaves or other parts of the plant.
Does the plant absorb carbon dioxide from the roots then from where?
leaves
How do plant cells get energy?
They absorb it from carbon dioxide and the sun and water.
What important gas does plant absorb during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
Where does a plant get the carbon dioxide it needs for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
From the air around it. During the day, plants absorb oxygen from the air. At night - they absorb carbon dioxide.
What organisms eats carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a vapor, as it can not be eaten, but plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen all plant types do this, so hopefully, in answer to your question, all plant species absorbs carbon dioxide.
Where does a plant get the carbon dioxide that it needs for a dark reaction of photosynthesis?
From the air around it. During the day, plants absorb oxygen from the air. At night - they absorb carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide important for plants how?
Yes - most plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to plant material via photosynthesis.
How will increasing carbon dioxide around a plant make a difference in growth?
Plants absorb and feed off of carbon dioxide, so it will grow faster.
What light rays do plants absorb and which do they reflect?
Plants absorb Co2. Carbon dioxide. Which is Carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used in the plant and the oxygen is released, (or reflected as you could say).
What substance did the plant most likely absorb from the water for the process that the oxygen gas?
carbon dioxide
