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.
What else can I help you with?
Trees and other plants Which are important natural resources provide us with what?
Plants provide us with oxygen, shade, and their roots help to keep soil from eroding.
How do the plants help the soil?
plants prevents soil eroison
What is a major source of oxygen for the earth's atmosphere?
Trees and plant life.carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and regenerated into oxygen then given off again
Where does the oxygen go when it leaves the animal?
Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
How can you know that there is water under the soil?
Plants absrb water through their roots which are in soil; so there must be water under the soil for the plants to survive.
Why do you take care plants?
If we did not take care of plants the world would not be as beautiful and plants give us a little oxygen,and we need oxygen to life.
why is soil considered a vital resource?
because plants need soil to live... and plants produce oxygen... and we need oxygen to live
Can clover produce oxygen?
Yes, clover plants can produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce oxygen as a byproduct.
Does soil have oxygen in it?
yes soil has oxygen as in harsh conditions plants take essintial nutrients ,minerals water and oxygen to keep it self alive even in harsh conditions or weather
Is it possible to grow plants in the soil on the moon?
No, because there is no oxygen in space therefore it is not possible to grow plants in the soil on the moon
How can people keep soil alive?
the dead cells in the soil help the plants grow and plants give you oxygen which humans need
Why does plants in water doesn't grow but plants in soil does grow?
soil has more nutrients, unlike water its just hydrogen and oxygen
Do green plants take in oxygen?
Yes, photosynthesis in plants releases Oxygen.
How is loosening of soil important to plants?
Plant roots need both oxygen and water. Loosening soil helps with oxygen and water movement.
What is the best plants for an ecosystem dome?
Plants do need oxygen to survive. They respire (take in oxygen, give off carbon dioxide) the same way that animals do. The difference is that during the day, plants also perform photosynthesis, in which they take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. In an ecosystem dome Light, soil and water will be necessary so actually there are many plants that are the best.
Where do the oxygen atoms in the CO2 come from?
The oxygen atoms in CO2 come from the process of photosynthesis in plants. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, and using sunlight as energy, convert them into glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
Give the reasons why plants grow poorly in waterlogged?
plants draw oxygen from the soil as well as nutrients, waterlogged soil contains very little oxygen. anaerobic conditions can also lead to root damage of the plant; as a result the plant is unable to take up the nutrients required for growth
