Consider why it releases oxygen in the first place. It takes in Co2 and creates oxygen from it, an action known as photosynthesis, which is like eating. Now consider the human population, which when we breath, makes Co2. It's, of course, very large. So if the plant has a lot of Co2 then it would in turn make a lot of oxygen

What is the most likely effect a decrease of plant life in the biosphere would have on the atmosphere?
As a byproduct of photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen. A decrease in plants would mean a decrease in the amount of oxygen being released into the atmosphere, although such a decrease would have to be large in order to produce a noticeable effect.
House plants increase oxygen in a home?
Yes, houseplants increase oxygen in the home, in the day time but at night they emit carbon dioxide, so you need to remove them at night, they used to remove plants in hospitals in the evening from patients bedsides. Most people just live with them as they do not emit a large amount of carbon dioxide. Depends how many plants you have.
Large nonpolar macromolecules that have a greater amount of carbon and hydrogen than oxygen?
Lipids.
When the chloroplast release large amounts of oxygen what other processes are happening?
Oxygen is a bi product of photosynthesis.So photosynthesis is carried out.
What is a large organic compounds made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen?
Lipids
Process in which plants release a large amount of water vapor?
precipitation
What is the process in which plants release a large amount of water vapor?
evaporation and transpiration
What does large amount of air do to plants?
Large amounts of air (I'm assuming you mean in a natural environment e.g a rainforest) are actually quite bad for plants as they require carbon-dioxide to live. The balance caused by humans and other animals (we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon-dioxide) saves the plants from to much oxygen.
Where does most oxygen enter the ocean from?
Oxygen gets dissolved in the water by diffusion from the air, due in large part to the wave action on the surface.
What do alveoli have that enables them to absorb a large amount of oxygen?
A large surface area

What is given off by the plant after photosynthesis that is not needed by the plant?
Plants give off a large amount of oxygen as a result of photosynthesis. It is important to note that this oxygen does not come from carbon dioxide, but rather from water consumed in the process of photosynthesis. However, it is also important to point out that saying plants "do not need" oxygen is not entirely accurate. Plants do need some oxygen, because like all eukaryotic cells, they rely on mitochondria for some of their energy needs, and mitochondria require oxygen to perform cellular respiration. Plants just make a lot more oxygen than they need.

Do cats inhale when they yawn?
When cats yawn they inhale a large amount of oxygen.
How do plants MOST likely change the atmosphere in a way that is beneficial for animals?
When animals exhale, they release a gas called Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which can be lethal to animals if the gas is present in large quantities. Through the process of photosynthesis plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a byproduct. This helps animals because they need oxygen in order to breathe.
