Do we really care? We havn't even learnt to care for each other, and yet we have the arrogance to think we can care about the planet.

Which plants produce the highest amount of oxygen?

The plants that produce the highest amount of oxygen are typically trees, especially large, leafy trees like oak, maple, and beech trees. These trees have a high rate of photosynthesis, which allows them to release more oxygen into the atmosphere.


Which plants create the most oxygen in the environment?

The plants that create the most oxygen in the environment are typically large, leafy trees such as oak, maple, and beech trees. These trees have a high rate of photosynthesis, which allows them to produce more oxygen than smaller plants.


Which organism produces more than 50 percent of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere?

Contrary to popular secular belief, tree's don't actually produce the majority of the worlds oxygen, in fact, approximately 91.6% of the worlds oxygen is produced by phytoplankton blooms in the northern hemisphere of the ocean.


Which plants give off the most oxygen?

The plants that give off the most oxygen are typically those that are large and leafy, such as trees like oak, maple, and beech. These plants have a high rate of photosynthesis, which allows them to produce more oxygen as a byproduct.


'How much oxygen does one tree produce'?

It requires 22 trees to produce the amount of oxygen consumed by one person. (An acre of trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people). This data comes from the Northwest Territories Forest Management site. Approximately 2 Moles per second Not all trees produce the same amount of oxygen in the same amount of time. 'Evergreen' trees for example generally produce less oxygen per hour than their leafy cousins per time interval generally, however they do continue producing oxygen when their leafy cousins lose their leaves in the autumn, and to a point even well into the cold of winter in many areas. The more green there is to a tree, in general, the more oxygen it will produce. The specific species of tree is important to consider, as well as the age, size and health of the tree. A healthy 4 year old apple tree will produce more oxygen per day of summer sun than a dozen 4 year old trimmed 'bonsai' trees, simply because the 4 year old apple tree has a much greater volume of chlorophyll laden leaves (and large leaves) than the bonsai trees do. The amount of oxygen produced is dependent on the amount of chlorophyll involved in the photosynthesis process. Although there is also the consideration of how much oxygen does the tree consume as well. (Plants do both, consuming oxygen and producing carbon dioxide, and consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. I presume you are asking about the NET oxygen production of the tree (which is the oxygen it produces minus the oxygen it uses. In order to know this, however, we would have to account for how much of the time it is receiving enough sunlight to achieve photosynthesis and how much oxygen it is producing during that time, less the amount of oxygen it is using during the entire day (and night) At night trees and other plants produce very little if any oxygen, but they continue cellular respiration (use of oxygen) at a lower rate.

Do you get more oxygen from trees or the ocean?

You get more oxygen from trees. Trees produce oxygen through photosynthesis, while the ocean produces oxygen mainly through phytoplankton. However, trees are more efficient at producing oxygen because there are more trees on land compared to phytoplankton in the ocean.


Does grass produce more oxygen than trees?

No, trees generally produce more oxygen than grass because of their larger size and capacity for photosynthesis. Trees have more surface area for photosynthesis to occur, allowing them to produce more oxygen than grass per unit of land.


Do trees without leaves produce oxygen?

Yes, trees produce oxygen through a process called photosynthesis, even when they do not have leaves. However, trees with leaves are able to produce more oxygen due to a larger surface area for photosynthesis to occur.


Why is it good to plant more trees?

It is good to plant more trees because they produce oxygen from the carbon-dioxide we exhale so if we didn't have trees uhh...no oxygen?


Can industry produce oxygen when there is no more trees?

No, because the plant and trees only give us oxygen.. Without them we will not be alive...


What takes in more oxygen trees or balloons?

Trees take in more oxygen than balloons. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as a byproduct. Balloons, on the other hand, do not produce oxygen as they are typically filled with gases like helium or air.


Which plants produce the highest amount of oxygen?

The plants that produce the highest amount of oxygen are typically trees, especially large, leafy trees like oak, maple, and beech trees. These trees have a high rate of photosynthesis, which allows them to release more oxygen into the atmosphere.


How cutting tree affect the rate of pollution in such ecosystem?

Trees produce oxygen. If the tree is cut down, it will no longer produce the oxygen that the ecosystem needs. So when we cut down trees, less oxygen is being produced, and the less oxygen produced, the more uneven the balance of pollution and oxygen.


Do fir and spruce produce more oxygen leaf trees?

Both fir and spruce trees are conifers that produce oxygen through photosynthesis like other leafy trees. However, since conifers tend to have needle-like leaves with a smaller surface area compared to broadleaf trees, they may produce slightly less oxygen per tree. Overall, all trees play a critical role in producing oxygen and maintaining a healthy ecosystem.


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.

Will planting more trees use up the suns energy?

NO! planting more trees will help the environment and will let lose more oxygen- oxygen actually helps the sun produce more energy. and think of all the trees that used to be on earth- practically the whole u.s used to be covered with them! so planting more trees just helps more trees be on earth and replacing the amount of trees that used to be on earth!
