How do plant cells produce oxygen during photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Green oxygen producing plants are abundant in nature, especially in forests, jungles and coastal regions by the ocean (seaweeds, algae and marine phytoplankton make up the overwhelming majority of the worlds oxygen producing plants). If you've ever spent time in or near these settings, you'll know how refreshing and revitalizing they are! Oxygen and the air it is contained in, could be considered the most crucial nutrient to the human body because life can only last mere minutes without it.

Every cell in the body uses oxygen for fuel (as well as glucose). Brain function quickly drops when it is not supplied with adequate oxygen. If it falls too low to quickly, a stroke can occur. Cancers and many pathogenic diseases are destroyed by oxygen, which is why hyperbaric oxygen chambers are used as such powerful life saving tools. These chambers can also reverse all the side effects of a stroke if a person who has just suffered from one is placed into one within an hour or so.

The ratio of oxygen to other molecules in the Earth's atmosphere has been dropping over several decades. The majority of this problem is due to air pollution increasing and less to the fact that the forests and jungles of the world are being reduced by clear cutting (which should still be stopped). Areas of higher pollution, such as cities, have a lower percentage of oxygen in the air. I hope that these oxygen facts help illustrate the importance of bringing both oxygen producing plants as well as aircleaning plants into your home for life-span development.

Answer 2

Plant cells produce one molecule of oxygen by splitting carbon dioxide. This will happen during the process of photosynthesis whereby the plant will manufacture its food.
Plant cells produce one molecule of oxygen by splitting two molecules of water. The light dependent reactions of photosynthesis involve photolysis of water.

Answer 3

A process called photosynthesis, a plant withdraws water(H2O) from it's roots and absorbs carbon dioxide(CO2) from the air.

Then by using energy from the sun, the plant combines these molecules into glucose(C6H12O6), this leaves the plant with 3 oxygen(O2) molecules which it dispenses into the air.

Answer 4

During the process of photosynthesis, particularly the Calvin cycle, plants combine carbon dioxide and water into sugars. These sugars don't contain as much oxygen as is put in from the CO2 and H2O, and so it leaves extra oxygen.

Answer 5

Plant cells produce oxygen during photosynthesis through a process called photolysis, which occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. Water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons using light energy absorbed by chlorophyll. The oxygen is then released as a byproduct into the atmosphere.

Answer 6

They intake Carbon Dioxide and exhale Oxygen as a waste product.

Answer 7

Oxygen molecules are produced in a plant cell through the process photosynthesis. This process uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to create glucose and oxygen.

Answer 8

breaking apart water molecules
