Why do plants give out carbon dioxide in the dark and oxygen in the light and can this reduce oxygen in the bedroom at night?

Plants release carbon dioxide during respiration, which occurs both day and night. In the presence of sunlight, plants undergo photosynthesis, where they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis is usually more than the carbon dioxide released during respiration, so there should not be a significant reduction in oxygen levels in a bedroom at night due to plants.


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.


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.


What are excretory products of plants?

oxygen in morning and carbon dioxide in night.


Should plants breath in oxygen or carbon dioxide at night?

Plants take in carbon dioxide during the day and release oxygen through photosynthesis. At night, plants do not photosynthesize and instead undergo respiration, where they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.


Do plants absorb oxygen at night?

No, plants do not absorb oxygen at night. Instead, they release carbon dioxide through a process called respiration.


Do plants take in oxygen at night?

No, plants do not take in oxygen at night. Instead, they release carbon dioxide through a process called respiration.


Do plants really produce oxygen at night?

No, plants do not produce oxygen at night. They undergo a process called respiration, where they consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.


What are the names of excretory products of plants?

oxygen in morning and carbon dioxide in night.


What does the plant take in and give out during a night?

During the night, plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide through a process called respiration. This is because photosynthesis, the process through which plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, is not occurring in darkness.


What do plants exrete?

plants exrete carbon dioxide in the night time and exrete oxygen when light is available


In what part of the day do plants more carbon dioxide than oxygen?

At night time.
