Plants give off oxygen as part of photosynthesis, in which they break down CO2. But at night, they give off small amounts of CO2 because they use a form of cellular respiration (as animals do) when there is no light for photosynthesis.

∙ 6y agoYes, it is true that plants take in carbon dioxide at night.At day time, plants get the energy they need for fixing carbon dioxide as well as other metabolic processes via the photosynthetic reactions of the chloroplast. At night the energy the plant needs to maintain itself is derived from the breakdown of sugars in the mitochondria. Therefore, Co2 is an important component for plants.
No... They release carbon dioxide during the day - and oxygen at night.

∙ 10y agoyes, most of the trees give off CO2 at night.
Green plants, including trees, absorb Carbon Dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis.

What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?
In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.
At what time plants release oxygen?
When not engaged in photosynthesis (e.g. at night), plants use cellular respiration for energy, releasing some carbon dioxide. After death, the decomposition of plants releases carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Do plants need carbon dioxide to live?
No.Plants do not need carbon dioxide.But some plants use carbon dioxide during night and produce oxygen during day. Neem tree does not use carbon dioxide at all!!. They produce oxygen during the day as well as during the night.
Is CO2 given off during photosynthesis?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. They release carbon dioxide, usually at night, through respiration.Photosynthesis is a process that uses the energy of light (photo-) to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars that can then be converted into plant material (-synthesis) as well as releasing oxygen. In the process of converting the sugars created by photosynthesis into other plant material, plants consume some oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This is particularly noticeable at night or when light is low and hence photosynthesis is not occurring. This process where they release carbon dioxide instead of taking it in is known as respiration. In general, the plants release more oxygen during photosynthesis than they consume in respiration and likewise consume more carbon dioxide in photosynthesis than they release in respiration.
Should plants breath in oxygen or carbon dioxide at night?
No,I dont tink that it's bad,because what is another way we could breathe in and breath out
What organisms release carbon dioxide?
Plants release carbon dioxide during the night time
What is the name of dutch scientist who first discovered that in day time plants take carbon dioxide and release oxygen while at the night plants take oxygen and release carbon dioxide?
Jan Ingenhousz dutch born british scientist is know for his discovery of photosynthesis by which plants in sunlight absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Do every plant release carbon dioxide in night?
A few plants like Ficus religiosa and holy basil do not release CO2 at night.
What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?
In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.
What gas do plants make at night?
Plants continue to create Carbon Dioxide at Night.
What gas do plants make at-night?
Plants continue to create Carbon Dioxide at Night.
At what time plants release oxygen?
When not engaged in photosynthesis (e.g. at night), plants use cellular respiration for energy, releasing some carbon dioxide. After death, the decomposition of plants releases carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Once carbon has been converted to food by plants what three things can happen to it?
1. Plants respire and carbon dioxide is. released at night. 2. Plants are eaten by animals and animals respire and carbon dioxide is released. 3. Plants and animals die and are decomposed. Decomposers release carbon dioxide from decaying matter into the air.
Do green plants produce carbon dioxide at night?
Above plants can uptake CO{-2} during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM).
When Green Plants Give Out Carbon Dioxide?
Green plants give out oxygen in the day time and take carbon dioxide and during the night the green plants give out carbon dioxide and take oxygen.
Do plants need carbon dioxide to live?
No.Plants do not need carbon dioxide.But some plants use carbon dioxide during night and produce oxygen during day. Neem tree does not use carbon dioxide at all!!. They produce oxygen during the day as well as during the night.
When do plants use carbon dioxide night or day?
Plants use carbon dioxide in the daytime as part of photosynthesis which occurs in the chloroplast. They use the CO2 and make sugars. People breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite. They breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.One small "technical" detail that should be mentioned. Plants really don't breath, they respire. People breath.So, at the night, the plant cells respire more than they photosynthesise, so they get rid of more carbon dioxide than oxygen.
