Do plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide?
During the day they do yes: Plants are living things and their metabolism constantly 'burns' food using Oxygen and producing CO2, they do this all the time, day and night. However, during the day plant is bombarded by photons (i.e. light). The light allows the plant to photosynthesise, turning CO2 and water into Hydrocarbons for food and releasing Oxygen. The amount of Oxygen produced is surplus to its metabolic requirements and is therefore released into the atmosphere. At night photosynthesis closes down because there is no light so the plant consumes oxygen and releases CO2 like animals.
Why the loss of oxygen from the leaf of a plant may be described as excretion?
Oxygen is produced when carbon dioxide and water are broken down into sugar and oxygen. Oxygen is the waste product
How do plants participate in the cycling of oxygen and carbon dioxide on earth?
Right, to keep it quick and easy: Plant takes in Carbon dioxide, turns it into oxygen. Although plant also respires at night releasing CO2 and using O2, that doesn't matter as it releases more oxygen than it does carbon dioxide. When the plant dies and rots, the bacteria and fungi which break it down repire, and so the carbon cycle is completed as the co2 is once more released into the atmosphere ready to be consumed by another plant. hope that helps.
Why does our biosphere support life?
because plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen which keeps the temperature of the plant down.
What the connection between plants and oxygen?
The connection between plants and oxygen is that after the plant is done making photosynthesis it releases oxygen into the air and takes in carbon dioxide that we release into the air. So we are the ones who take in oxygen from the plant. This is a reason why we should not cut down a handful of trees otherwise there will be less oxygen in the air.

Does grass give off oxygen?
YES!!! All GREEN Plant material gives off oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and fall to the ground. Whereupon it is absorbed by green plant life. Then in the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide in broken down (decomposed) into oxygen and the carbon component remains in the plant as biomass. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, for animals to breath. It is part of the 'carbon' and 'oxygen' bio-chremical cycles on Earth. Photosynthesis, does not occur at night, when there is no UV light from the Sun.
What is a plant that uses oxygen to break down stored Carbohydrates?
Cellular respiration

Why do plants need oxygen to survive?
When a plant feeds on its own food, that food is broken down in the same way that it's broken down in an animals body (including yours): with oxygen. The oxygen is needed to break down the carbohydrate molecules and release the energy stored in those molecules. While a plant is photosynthesizing, its producing more than enough oxygen to break down its own food.
What plant needs to break down and release energy to move it's food to other parts?
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food

What do plants use oxygen for?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration in all cells. During photosynthesis oxygen gas is produced, this is used to produce glucose; oxygen is also then used during anaerobic respiration to break down the glucose to ATP. Oxygen for normal cellular respiration in other parts of the plant is supplied in solution via the root system.
What is the process in which plant and animal cells us oxygen to break down carbohydrates?
cellular respiration
What is the process in which plant and animals use oxygen to break down stored carbohydrates?
cellular respiration
What would happen if forests vanish from your earth?
there would be no shade, nothing holding the top soil down and blocking the wind, creating a desert, and oxygen levels would go down. not dissapear, because most of the worlds oxygen is produced by algae in the oceans, not by trees
