Neither! Plants breathe carbon dioxide, which is a natural waste product of most animal respiration. I.e., humans and most other animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen! Which is probably why some people think that it helps to talk to your plant from time to time. (Who knows? It might help it grow a little bit.)

What gas does a plant release in sunlight?

oxygen. plant give out oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide in the present in the sunlight


Where does most of the atmosphere oxygen come from?

From plant life. Animals including humans exhale carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas and fall to the ground. Whereupon it is absorbed by plant life. Under the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide in the plant is broken down into carbon and oxygen. The carbon is retained in the plant as biomass, and the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, for animals to breathe. It is all part of the oxygen/carbon cycle.


What does a plant convert carbon dioxide into?

A plant converts carbon dioxide into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves capturing sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Does a plant use oxygen to make carbon dioxide during a photosynthesis?

No, they use carbon dioxide to make oxygen.


How does a plant make as waste gas?

A plant takes in carbon dioxide stores the carbon then releases oxygen as a waste gas.


What does carbon dioxide play in plant life processes?

During Photosynthesis process the plant breaks the carbon dioxjde mollecule to carbon and oxygen. the plant uses the carbon as a nutrient and releases part of the oxygen to the air.


What is oxygen-carbon dioxide cycles?

The oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle is the process by which carbon dioxide is converted into oxygen through photosynthesis by plants, and then oxygen is converted back into carbon dioxide through respiration by living organisms. This cycle is essential for maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is crucial for sustaining life on Earth.


Does a plant add oxygen to its environment?

Yes. As part of photosynthesis a plant converts carbon dioxide (CO2) to oxygen (O2).


What function do plant have in the forest in the carbon cycle?

They take it in as carbon dioxide and let our oxygen.


What is the source of the earths oxygen?

The primary source of Earth's oxygen is through the process of photosynthesis carried out by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen as a byproduct. Additionally, a small amount of oxygen is produced through chemical reactions in the atmosphere.


How does a plant perform photosynthesis?

It turns carbon dioxide to oxygen
