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.
Do plants take in oxygen from soil?
The primary way plants use oxygen is through their root cells. In order for a plant to take up water and nutrients from the soil, it must continually grow new root hairs. The cells that make up these hairs are living cells that do not carry out photosynthesis. They are similar to the cells of animals in that they require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as they burn carbohydrates to obtain the energy they need to function. This is why you can "drown" a house plant by watering it too much. If the soil gets too saturated with water, the plants root cells can't get enough oxygen from the air.
Plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make what?
Sugar and oxygen.
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.
In what ways did land plants need to be different from green algae?
Green algae absorbs oxygen from the surrounding water. Land plants had to evolve to absorb oxygen from the air.
Do plants produce oxygen from carbon monoixde?
No, plants can use the energy from Sun light to combine water with Carbon dioxide to make sugars and a byproduct of the reaction is the release of Oxygen.
How did the oxygen in your atmosphere get there?
The way the oxygen got into our atmosphere is when the green plants do photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to make glucose and of course oxygen. After a while, the plants did enough photosynthesis that the earth got an atmosphere .
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.
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?
sex
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.
What do you get when you combine oxygen and hydrogen?
water
What would water be when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?
When they combine they form a product
