they convert it using photosynthesis
Plants absorb carbon dioxide (which has 2 oxygen atoms and one carbon atom), and water (which has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom), and use sunlight to combine one atom of oxygen with one atom of carbon and one atom of hydrogen, thus forming the simple carbohydrate it uses to grow. What's left over from all this is the two oxygen atoms which the plant expels from it's leaves as a byproduct.

∙ 12y agoBy the process of photosynthesis, the plants take in H20 (water) and uses the H+ ion from the water and that leaves the H2 (oxygen) as a bi-product (the plant can no longer use anything from it)

What gas does a plant release in sunlight?
oxygen. plant give out oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide in the present in the sunlight
Is oxygen needed to make food in a plant?
Yes. Oxygen is needed for a plant to photosynthesize and make glucose, which is its food.
What does photosynthesis create?
Photosynthesis produces glucose (C6H12O6) which is required by organisms for respiration, it also gives off bi-products of O2 and water, the oxygen is released into the atmosphere or recycled by the plant in its own respiration reactions.
How do you test to confirm that the gas released by the plant was oxygen?
Sometimes, you can test for the presence of pure oxygen via the glowing splint test. Basically, you light a splint (a small wooden stick) and then blow the flame out, so the end is just glowing. Then, you place the splint in the environment that you're testing for oxygen. If the splint reignites, then the gas in the environment is pure oxygen.
Substance produced by the mint plant in Joseph priestley's experiment?
Oxygen
How do orchids take in oxygen?
no An orchid is a plant. All plants take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen.
What gas does the plant put back into the atmosphere and who uses the gas?
The plant put back oxygen into the atmosphere and the humans (us) use the oxygen to breathe Oxygen is used by all living things as well as playing a part in oxidization Fire corrosion etc
Can you put a plant on a planet that has carbon dioxide so it can make oxygen?
Yes you can
What is the source of much of the oxygen the atmosphere?
plant-like plankton in the ocean put out most of the oxygen in the atmoshere as a waste-product of photosynthesis.

What gas does a plant release in sunlight?
oxygen. plant give out oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide in the present in the sunlight
How do you put photosynthesis in a sentence.?
A plant uses the sun's energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
How can you temporarily give your fish oxygen?
You can either put water plants in the water or buy those artificial oxygen balls put preferably get a water plant like elodea moss that would make great plants
What was the gas produced by the elodea plant?
Oxygen
Which plant release maximum oxygen?
Ficus religiosa (Peepal) plant release maximum oxygen.
Will the plant continue to produce this gas if the shade is over the window?
yes because the plant is still producing oxygen even though the sun provides energy for the plant to produce oxygen. The reason that the answer is yes is because, the person who is watering the plant is exhaling oxygen so the plant takes in the oxygen
How much oxygen do plants make in 1 year?
How much oxygen a plant produces will depend on the size of the plant, and the number of leaves on the plant. Each leaf on a plant produces a certain amount of oxygen.
