Do all plants produce oxygen?

Generally speaking the larger the area of a single plant then the more oxygen it will produce. However the overall area covered by marine or water plants is far larger than land based plants, therefore marine plants produce more oxygen than land plants.


What gives more oxygen trees or plants?

Trees generally produce more oxygen than smaller plants because they have more leaves and a greater overall biomass. However, when considering the oxygen production per unit area, the total amount of oxygen produced by plants collectively may be comparable to that of trees. Both trees and plants play important roles in oxygen production and carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere.


What does it mean if the photosynthetic rate is negative?

A negative photosynthetic rate means that the rate of respiration in the plant is higher than the rate of photosynthesis, resulting in a net loss of carbon dioxide and oxygen production. This negative value can occur during certain conditions like low light intensity or limited carbon dioxide availability.


What are the key differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of energy production and the utilization of oxygen?

Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration and requires oxygen to do so. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy and does not require oxygen.


What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?

In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.

Do lizards breathe oxygen?

Yes everthing abiotic other than plants breathe oxygen.


Does ocean produce more oxygen than trees?

Yes, the ocean produces more oxygen than trees. Approximately 50-80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by marine plants like phytoplankton through the process of photosynthesis, compared to around 20% produced by land-based plants.


Do plants produce gases other than oxygen?

Living plants only produce oxygen. Dead plant matter, when it decays, can produce methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other interesting gases.


What else can we use other than nitrogen?

oxygen for humans and carbon dioxide for plants


How would you prove a plant produces oxygen?

place 2-3 plants with dense leaves in a closed glass chamber with a lighted candle. the candle will light longer than wothout plants


Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?

Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.


Why is the need of plants for oxygen less urgent than that of animals?

Plants have a much slower metabolism than animals, that's why they also live much longer. Oxygen can be so taxing... Edited answer: Because plants can respire anaerobically also and they can meet out oxygen requirement partly from the process of photosynthesis.


What is the ratio of oxygen between trees and plants?

Trees generally contain more oxygen than other plants because of their larger size and greater biomass. However, both trees and plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, with trees helping to contribute a significant portion of the world's oxygen supply.


Which reaction produces more pure oxygen which is not united with other elements solid potassium permanganate with hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate solution with C12H22O11?

Potassium permanganate with hydrogen peroxide produces more pure oxygen than potassium permanganate solution with C12H22O11.


What is one product other than sugar that results from the process of photosynthesis?

One product other than sugar that results from the process of photosynthesis is oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide and water, and in the presence of sunlight, produce glucose (sugar) as well as oxygen as a byproduct.


What produces oxygen on the planet?

Algae. Their net release of oxygen is greater than the amount produced by all land-based plants together. Most of the Earth's oxygen is produced by plants, both on surface and under water.


What would happen in an ecosystem if there were more organisms that produce carbon dioxide than organisms that produce oxygen?

ecosystem,the sun hits the water and the algae grow.Algae produces oxygen for animals like fish , and provides food for microscopic animals .Absorb oxygen with their gills and expel CO2 which plants then use to grow.
