I was told it was because air with more oxygen and less carbon dioxide is better for the patients and since plants respire at night, it's better to remove them at night.

Plant (and animal) respiration involves the taking in of oxygen and glucose (sugars) to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy. Written as an equation:

O2+Glucose= CO2+H2O+ENERGY

I can tell you, however, that as a student nurse, we tell patients and their visitors that plants and flowers are not allowed to be brought onto the ward because bacteria, such as Pseudomonas and Clostridium perfringens, are naturally found in soil and plant life. These can cause infections on patients with suppressed immune systems.

When Green Plants Give Out Carbon Dioxide?

Green plants give out carbon dioxide during cellular respiration, a process where they break down glucose to release energy. This occurs primarily at night when photosynthesis is not taking place. However, overall, green plants absorb more carbon dioxide during photosynthesis than they release during respiration.


Why is it not advisable to sleep in a closed dark room with green plants?

Sleeping in a closed dark room with green plants is not advisable because plants release carbon dioxide at night, which can reduce oxygen levels in the room. This can negatively affect your sleep quality and overall health. It is best to have well-ventilated rooms for a good night's rest.


Does green leaves make food all day and night?

Green leaves require water,sunlight,chlorophyll and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis which is the process of making food for a plant. Therefore since there is no sunlight in the night, they probably do not make food in the night. Also, in the night green plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide which is necessary for making food. With these two facts we can come to a conclusion that green leaves DO NOT make food at night. :)))) you're welcome!


Would you have to stay over night at the hospital if you have a tubal pregnancy?

A tubal (aka ectopic) pregnancy can sometimes be a life threatening condition. If it is bleeding or ruptured, you may need surgery. You might need to spend the night in the hospital depending on the type of surgery (abdominal vs. laparoscopic) that is performed. Many tubal pregnancies are now diagnosed quite early, and treated with medication (methotrexate). In such a case you would not have to spend the night in a hospital.


When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?

In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.


Do green plants produce carbon dioxide at night?

Yes, green plants still perform cellular respiration at night, where they break down stored sugars to produce energy. During this process, carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. However, this carbon dioxide release is usually much lower compared to the amount of oxygen produced during photosynthesis in the daytime.
