Green plants need carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis, which operates using the energy of sunlight. So it takes in carbon dioxide during the day. At night, plants take in some oxygen for other metabolic processes, using cellular respiration.

(Some desert plants take in more carbon dioxide and night because they can store it as weak acids. This limits the exposure of plant enzymes to oxygen. However, these plants, such as cacti, release oxygen during the day as do other plants.)

During the day, the sunlight present allows plants to photosynthesize and produce oxygen. So when more carbon dioxide is taken in, more oxygen will thus be produced. Whereas during the night, plants stop photosynthesizing and only respire.

Plants need light for photosynthesis, the process by which theyrelease Oxygen from Carbon Dioxide.

In the absence of light, they really don't need CO2.

That depends on what kind of plant it is. Some plants, such as cactus, do not need much water. Other kinds of plants need more. So you would have to ask about a specific plant in order to get a specific answer.It really depends on the plant. Some plants need more water than others, such as a cactus and a bean ,the bean needs more water than the cactus because the cactus stores water and beans don't.

Why does your plant droop in the day and come to life at night?

When the sun is shining moisture evaporates from the plant faster than it can be replenished from the roots so the plant gets flaccid and wilts. At night the roots can supply moisture faster than the water evaporates so the plant becomes turgid.
