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.)

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.
