Do plants suck the oxygen out of the air in houses?

No, actually plants are producers of oxygen. They intake carbon dioxide (which we exhale) and then add oxygen to the house's air.


How do the plants help us?

We eat plants and we eat animals that eat plants. Also plants add oxygen to our air. Plants are also beautiful to look at.


What did Joseph priestly find out?

In 1774 Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen. He conducted several experiments and one of them showed that plants release oxygen into the air.


How can you get oxygen from plants?

Plants taken in the air we breath as carbon dioxide and release it back into the air as oxygen.


Can plants help us breathe?

Plants take in carbon dioxide (which we breath out) and turn it into oxygen (which we need to live). Plants scrub CO2 from the air, add O2 to the air. So they make animal life possible (including people).


Greenhouse growers often add carbon dioxide to the air in the greenhouse What is the advantage of doing this?

All plants need carbon dioxide to complete photosynthesis. Mammals take in oxygen and breath out CO2. It is the exact opposite for plants. The stomata on the plants act as lungs for the CO2 to enter the plant. The plant then puts out oxygen into the air. Since plants need CO2 and they are putting out oxygen, extra CO2 in the air will hope the plant grow.


Why completely submerged plants are helpful to animals living in a pond?

How is oxygen in air replaced?

As the third most abundant element, oxygen in the air is made by plants and algae.


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.
