No, plants need oxygen for respiration during the dark phase of photosynthesis. They produce more oxygen than they use but, they still need to have oxygen.

What releases oxygen and glucose?
Plants and other organisms that rely solely on photosynthesis.
Do human cells create carbon dioxide at low oxygen conditions?
No there are situations where do excrete carbon dioxide. Conditions of low oxygen can force cells to rely solely upon anaerobic metabolism. The buildup in lactic acid during exercise is a consequence of this.
What could happen to the plants if there are no animals?
It depends what you mean by animals. If you're are talking solely about vertebrates (having a backbone like humans, mammals, fish and others) then the answer is not much. Bacteria produce a lot of carbon dioxide. Plus Carbon Dioxide is released naturally through volcanic activity. Plants would still have plenty of CO2 to continue breathing. On the other hand, if all forms of life that used oxygen to breathe were to suddenly vanish, they is a very good chance that most plants would cease to function as they wouldn't have enough CO2 to breathe.
Why does pop go flat at room temperature more easily than in the refrigerator?
It doesn't lose its fizz in any kind of temperature, because when you shake it up, there is already a certain amount of carbon dioxide that exists within the confines of the pop, and the fizz is the release of the carbon dioxide when being trapped in bubbles. It solely depends upon how much carbon dioxide exists within the pop.
Should car tax be based solely on carbon emissions?
no
Whatis Uranus made up of?
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean. Uranus atmosphere consists of hydrogen and helium, methane, ammonia and traces of hydrocarbons.
Which planet has the hottest surface temperature?
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus is the hottestas the thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere.
What cars produce less Co2?
Hybrid cars produce less carbon dioxide because they run partially on an electric motor and partially on a gasoline engine. Therefore a hybrid will produce less CO2 than a car that relies solely on a gasoline powered engine.
Is auxin a plant hormone or animal hormone?
Auxin is a hormone that is found solely in plants.
What volume of carbon monoxide at STP is needed to produce 541 mL of carbon dioxide?
Using the ideal gas law - the volume of a gas is independent of it composition and is determined solely by the equation PV=nRT. As one mole of CO would produce one mole of CO2 it would take 541 mL of CO to produce 541 mL of CO2.
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by human activity?
Not solely. There is a natural greenhouse effect that is supported by the earth's carbon and water cycles. This has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.However, humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming and climate change.
What increases the Earth's temperature?
the enhanced greenhouse effect. An increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in more heat being retained and an overall warming of the Earth's temperature. Although they make up a small percentage of atmospheric gases, changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases have a huge effect on the balance of natural processes. The core concern about climate change is human potential to alter the climate through activities that are a result of our way of life and how we treat the natural environment. There have been significant technological advances over the past 60 to 100 years that have offered humankind countless benefits and conveniences. These increases in human activity, however, have also led to an additional release of greenhouse gases that have placed stress on natural processes. Some of the gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the result of both natural and human processes. Others, notably fluorinated gases, are generated solely by human activities. The sources of these gas emissions include burning fossil fuels to power our way of life, industrial processes, urbanisation and land use, agriculture and deforestation. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased nearly 30 per cent methane concentrations have more than doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by about 15 per cent. Carbon dioxide is the single largest contributor to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Increases in carbon dioxide emissions account for approximately 70 per cent of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Using ice cores from the Antarctic, scientists estimate that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the pre-industrial era had a value of approximately 280 parts per million (ppm). Measurements in 2005 put it at 379 ppm. The 2005 figures also tell a story of alarming growth. The 2005 carbon dioxide levels exceeded the natural range of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 650,000 years (180 to 300 ppm). In addition, even though there has been year to year variability (at an average of 1.9ppm), the annual growth rate of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere was larger during the 10 years between 1995 and 2005 than it had been since the beginning of continuous direct atmospheric measurements between 1960 and 2005 (average: 1.4 ppm per year) (IPCC, 2007).
