Many plants, called C3 and C4 plants, open their stomas during the day to let in carbon dioxide to instigate the process of cellular respiration. However some plants called CAM plants open their stomas at night. The main reason for this process is due to the physical environment the plants are located in. The majority of CAM plants are located in hot, dry and desert environments where water is scarce. As a result the CAM plants evolved so that they could close their stomas during the day and open them at night, to help retain water, at night the plants can still absorb CO2. Some examples of CAM plants are, cacti, pineapples, and aloe.

Why isn't the oxygen in the earths atmosphere is not used up by the breathing of humans and other animals?
As you breath in oxygen your body exchanges it for carbon dioxide which is the air you breath out. As you and all other oxygen breathing animals do that, the earths plants to the opposite they breath carbon dioxide and release oxygen. That is why it is important to protect the worlds plants. We need each other.
When do plants respire?
Plants respire all the time, but it can be seen better at night. This is because photosynthesis has the opposite chemical formula, and since there is light, more oxygen returned out, then carbon dioxide is taken in.
Is plant breathing the same as animal breathing?
No. Plants have tiny holes in the bottom of their leaves that take in oxygen. Also, plants don't have lungs.
