There are 2 processes of gas exchange in plants, photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis occurs during the day, plants take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen into the environment. Respiration occurs at night and is similar to the way it occurs in animals. Plants absorb oxygen at night and expel carbon dioxide.

∙ 11y agoRespiration means taking something from the air and using it to make energy. Its a bit like burning wood for fire - you need to have air in order for the flame to start. In animals oxygen is taken from the air and used to split carbohydrates. The waste product is carbon dioxide. In plants it is the other way round - they use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as a waste product.
