Interesting question. The Oxygen must come from somewhere. On Earth a plant gets oxygen from 2 sources. Water and/or the atmosphere. It does not just make it up, simply transforms it from one form to another. A plant takes in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and releases the Oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. If there were some form of atmosphere/light/water to sustain the plants life then they will automatically produce a more oxygen rich atmosphere. As for the moon: It doesn't really have enough gravitational pull to sustain an atmosphere like that. Maybe Mars where the Atmosphere is 95% Carbon Dioxide and quite possibly large frozen lakes of ice.

Can people breath in space if they do not have a helmet on?
No. In space there is no oxygen and oxygen is what you breathe.
How does space give us oxygen?
The oxygen we use everyday in a breathable form is not normally found in space beyond our own atmosphere. The plant ecosystem here converts carbon dioxide to oxygen. NASA must transport large containers of air for the astronauts to breath on space missions. Over last few years NASA and other space agencies have started using oxygen generators, some of which convert water to oxygen. These devices are very expensive and not very efficient, but are improving over time.
Why do space shuttles need separate oxygen to burn the fuel in the space shuttle?
Answer: All combustion reactions require oxygen, since there is no oxygen in space, they must bring it with them.
Why are oxygen tanks and space suits needed to explore in space?
Oxygen tanks and space suits are needed for space exploration because there is no air in space and anyone there without suitable coverings and sources of oxygen would quickly die.
Do they have oxygen in space?
No. There is no air in space. Our gravity holds in the atmosphere, including Oxygen and other gases.
What makes plant?
A tree is a plant that makes oxygen.
Is tree a plant?
yes.. obviously. It needs oxygen to live, and it gives off carbon dioxide. So yes, a tree is a plant. What describes a plant?.........now look for a tree and reflect Improved:: Yes a tree is a plant,however they do not take in oxygen and give off CO2..Its just the opposite,Trees take in the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and produce O2(oxygen).......
Which office plant provides the most oxygen?
tree or seaweed
How do you plant the disco tree seed on poptropica?
Press space
How does people kill oxygen when they cut tree's?
Green plant life generates oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. The leaves of trees is green plant life. Every tree that is eliminated eliminates the oxygen it was producing. The enormous tree cover in tropical forests create huge amounts of oxygen. As these forests are cleared away this oxygen is lost to the atmosphere.
What energy come from thing such as tree and plant?
It will produce oxygen & glucose.
How much oxygen is carried by astronauts in a space shuttle?
maybe they brought a plant
Can a tree go in space?
Technically speaking you could send a potted tree inside a spaceship into space, however if you took it outside the spaceship it could not survive as there is no oxygen on the moon or in space in general that we know of.
Does the type of plant effect how fast it grows in space?
yes because the plant needs oxygen water and a bit of sun
How close can you plant flower to tree bases?
Plant it about at least 3 meters away so that the tree roots have space out under ground without being tangled by the roots of a flower.
What happens when you plant a plant in space?
The answer is that the plant would die Because It has the sun light but it needs oxygen and soil which is its food source to survive! NP.... :D
What grows faster a tree or a plant?
A plant a plant is a tree
