Nay. Green plants combine carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make food. Fortunately for us, they excrete oxygen as a result.

In what ways do plants play a role in the water cycle?

Plants take carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and turn it into Oxygen (O).


What plants live in water?

Seaweed, lilies, Louisiana iris, hyacinth, bamboo and several other plants live in water. plants prevent erosion along shorelines, as well as supply oxygen to other plants and fish.


Why is earth capable of supporting life?

because plants give off oxygen and support life for us and we have water.


Why plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis?

Yes. All living things, except maybe the extremophiles that live near volcanic vents in the bottom of the sea, require oxygen to live. Even green plants need oxygen.Sure, the leaves release oxygen, but the roots must draw in oxygen from air pockets in the soil to live. You can find this out by over-watering a potted plant. Saturating the soil will make the plant wilt and act as though it is drying up even though the soil is soaking wet. The roots have drowned and have died, therefore the rest of the plant runs out of water just as it would if the soil dried completely out.Every living thing breaks down carbohydrates to release energy. This process requires oxygen. Even plants that live submerged in water need oxygen and get it from leaves and stems that float on the water surface - even kelp in the ocean does this. The things that look like plants in the ocean that don't have above water parts aren't really plants, but are animals that are just rooted in place such as coral, sponges, etc.


Which alkaline Earth metal is found in chlorophyll and enables plants to make food?

Magnesium is the alkaline earth metal found in chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for the green color in plants. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by enabling plants to absorb light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Without magnesium, chlorophyll cannot function properly, thus hindering a plant's ability to produce food.

Plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make what?

Plants combine carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis to produce glucose (sugar), their primary source of energy. Oxygen is also released as a byproduct of this process.


When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water oxygen is?

When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, water is a product of the reaction.


What cells release food and oxygen combine?

Plants release oxygen through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During photosynthesis, plants combine carbon dioxide from the air with water to produce glucose (food) and release oxygen as a byproduct.


Why are green plants put in an aquarium?

Underwater plants increase the oxygen level in the water and also act as fodder for the fish.


Hydrogen and oxygen combine to make what?

How oxygen is produce by green plants?

Green plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, using sunlight as an energy source to convert these substances into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The oxygen produced is then released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.


What do plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make?

Sugar and oxygen.


How do plants adapt to photothnsesis?

The correct word is photosynthesis and not photothnsesis. Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means ''putting together with light.'' This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins. There are tiny pores called stomata. Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave through the stomata.


What is the green stuff in plants which changes water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen?

Do plants produce oxygen from carbon monoixde?

No, plants do not produce oxygen from carbon monoxide. Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, which involves taking in carbon dioxide and water and converting them into glucose and oxygen. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to both plants and animals.


What do you get when you combine hydrogen with oxygen?

When you combine one Oxygen and one Hydrogen you get Hydroxide. If you combine one Oxygen with two hydrogens you will end up with water.
