Carbon dioxide is taken in, usually during the day, through stomata (tiny pores on the underside of a leaf), and simultaneously oxygen is released. At night, if the plant is using cellular respiration for energy, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide released.
The oxygen that is released comes from the breakdown of water, because hydrogen is needed for the photosynthesis reactions.

What does plant gives out?

Plant cells can give off oxygen when photosynthesis occurs. They give out carbon dioxide when they respire when there is no light available.


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 does the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle look like?

The carbon dioxide oxygen cycle, also known as the carbon cycle, involves the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between living organisms and the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This cycle helps maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


Is tree a plant?

yes.. obviously. It needs oxygen to live, and it gives off carbon dioxide. So yes, a tree is a plant. What describes a plant?.........now look for a tree and reflect Improved:: Yes a tree is a plant,however they do not take in oxygen and give off CO2..Its just the opposite,Trees take in the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and produce O2(oxygen).......
