they convert it using photosynthesis
Plants absorb carbon dioxide (which has 2 oxygen atoms and one carbon atom), and water (which has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom), and use sunlight to combine one atom of oxygen with one atom of carbon and one atom of hydrogen, thus forming the simple carbohydrate it uses to grow. What's left over from all this is the two oxygen atoms which the plant expels from it's leaves as a byproduct.

What may happen to oxygen level if an animal such as a snail were put in the beaker while the eloded sprig was making oxygen?

The oxygen level in the beaker would likely increase as the snail consumes oxygen during respiration, while the elodea plant continues to produce oxygen through photosynthesis. This could create a balance or slight increase in oxygen levels, as long as the rate of oxygen consumption by the snail is not higher than the rate of oxygen production by the plant.

Will the plant continue to produce this gas if the shade is over the window?

yes because the plant is still producing oxygen even though the sun provides energy for the plant to produce oxygen. The reason that the answer is yes is because, the person who is watering the plant is exhaling oxygen so the plant takes in the oxygen
