They absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight and turn it into chemical energy in the leaves using chlorophyll as a catalyst. This releases glucose (a sugar), and oxygen.

Most of the oxygen released as a result of photosynthesis is from water which undergoes a photo-oxidation process. Photosynthesis is very complex and is involved with the production of sugars and the transfer of energy, as well as the manufacture of other compounds such as amino acids.

This is called the photolysis process.

Why is oxygen produced in schools?

Oxygen is not produced in schools. Oxygen is generated through photosynthesis by plants, including trees, which release oxygen as a byproduct. Schools may have plants or green spaces that contribute to oxygen production, but the oxygen itself is not directly produced within the school premises.

Is more oxygen produced in the winter or summer?

Oxygen is produced by living plants. Plants use Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight to make Sugars and Oxygen. As sunlight is required and there is more of this in summer, more oxygen is produced in summer than winter.


What is the waste gas produced by plants as they respire?

The waste gas produced by plants as they respire is oxygen. This is why plants are very important to the earth. Without plants, there probably would not be enough oxygen in the air for all to breathe.

What is the invisible odourless gas produced by plants?

Oxygen, the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This process is called Photosynthesis.


Is oxygen produced from a base in water?

Oxygen is not produced from a base in water. Oxygen can be produced through various processes such as photosynthesis in plants or electrolysis of water. Bases in water can be involved in reactions that can release oxygen, but they are not the direct source of oxygen production.


Is oxygen from wind?

No, oxygen is not produced by wind. Oxygen is produced by plants during the process of photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose with the help of sunlight. Wind is simply the movement of air in the atmosphere.


What are the three natural resources produced by plants?

Vitamin,grain and oxygen


When you breathe you take in that plants release?

You take it oxygen that the plant has produced.
