Oxygen: [36.7-10] / 36.7 = 72.8%
What benefit do you get from the oxygen that the plant makes?
The benefit that we get from plants is the fact that they change carbon dioxide into oxygen. Of course, our bodies don't need pure oxygen, if we inhaled pure oxygen we would suffocate, but carbon dioxide is a waste product that our body creates that is completely useless to us.
