Plants do not need Oxygen to create their own food, but need Carbon Dioxide and water to produce Glucose and Oxygen.

Yes but to exploit the food they do make for metabolic purposes plants do exploit oxygen. Plants are respiring all the time. It is just that during the day they photosynthesize more oxygen then they use. During the night they use more oxygen then they make. This is why hospitals remove flowers from patients rooms during the night.

Yes plants transpire, they use Oxygen and expire Carbon dioxide. They also use Carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and producing Oxygen as a waste product. Photosynthesis only occurs in bright light but they respire all day and all night. Another answer: Actually it is the other way around. Plants take in Carbon dioxide and throw off Oxygen.

All living organisms require oxygen to metabolise and function, this includes plants.

The majority of a plants oxygen is absorbed through its root system, while carbon dioxide is absorbed through the stomata of the leaves.

Plants remove oxygen from carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. They release the oxygen back into the air and use the carbon for building new cells.

What are three ways plants help the earth?

Well, one is that we breathe in Oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide. Plants do the exact opposite. We need Oxygen to breathe, and plants breathe out Oxygen. That helps every living thing. Another is that plants help the food chain by events usually in this order: Plants make food-Bugs eat the plants-Birds eat the bugs-Less bugs mean more food for humans-We eat the food the plants make-We grow new plants. Thirdly, plants provide shelter and shade. They grow into trees which in turn can bear food. Hope this helped!
