How come plants produce oxygen even though they need oxygen for respiration?

Plant use carbon-dioxide for respiration. They absorb the carbon molecules and release the oxygen molecules into the air.

Does algae produce carbon dioxide?
Algae are plants and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide when exposed to sunlight by photosynthesis. At night they produce carbon dioxide though cellular respiration.
What 2 processess that occur in plants help move carbon and oxygen though an ecosystem?
photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and take up carbon, while respiration in plant mitochondria takes up oxygen and produce carbon (meaning CO2 from metabolism of sugars etc; CO2 is not produced by respiration but it is very closely linked to CO2 production.)
How do plants release carbon into the atmosphere?
No plants release oxygen
How plants give out oxygen during respiration?
Oxygen is a by-product of using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to glucose. It takes in oxygen at night though which is because there is no sunlight at night and to replace this, the plants uses O2.
How are aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are related?
They can be thought of as the 'reverse' of each other (though their repective biochemical pathways are in no ways similar) and are the two halves of the carbon cycle. Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose +Oxygen
How does respiration work in plants?
the respiriration is such a oxidative reductive process ... and during plant it have two complex more process consist of seriese of steps DARK reaction and Light reaction.................... dark reaction need no light wheather in day time or night time...................... some how the light reaction are done in the prescence of light ..........during the light reaction the formation of the light reaction is just one ATP Which is responsible for the production of dark reaction .............
Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
What is the product produced through cellular respiration that stores energy for the body?
...I don't think respiration creates a product that stores energy. Respiration is the process of using stored energy(glucose) along with oxygen to release energy for bodily use. Photosynthesis stores glucose as a product, but that's only for plants - plants can also respire though mind you, at night for example. -.- hope that helps!
What will happen if plants will die?
The plants will happily live on. Plants do not need animals to live, though animals must have plants. Plants can produce both oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without animals to spread their pollen, however, some plants would have to find new ways to reproduce.
Why does cellular respiration happen in both animals and plants?
Cellular respiration isn't the same thing as regular human respiration (most of us use the words "breathing" and "respiration" interchangeably, even though biologists use the term "respiration" to mean something a little different). Cellular respiration is when living cells convert fuel - either oxygen or sunlight- into energy that they can use. For example, cellular respiration in humans is the process by which oxygen used to power the synthesis of ATP (ATP is a high-energy molecule that our cells depend on to survive). Plants use a similar process to convert the energy of the sun into building blocks they can use.
What roles does oxygen play in photosynthesis and in cellular respiration?
In photosynthesis, oxygen is a gas that is given off by the plant as a by product, which it cannot use. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to fuel the process, and without it, h20 is not produced and the pyruvic acid will turn into lactic acid in the muscles!
What is a similarity between alcohol fermentation and aerobic respiration?
The similarity is they both will make ATP (energy) as a product though the alcohol fermentation makes very less.
