What green plants produce the most oxygen and why are more of them not planted?

On a per-acre basis, young, fast growing plants produce more oxygen (and consume more carbon dioxide) than older, slow-growing plants.
Why aren't we planting more of them? Because the same people who insist that global warming is a problem, consider agriculture to be one of the biggest environmental polluters out there.
A:Young, fast growing plants produce more oxygen than older, slow-growing plants of the same size, but also produce more carbon dioxide when they die, giving no nett gain in atmospheric oxygen. We do no plant in order to increase atmospheric oxygen levels simply because the present oxygen level is very sufficient and because plants would make no difference anyway.Wiki User

How do green vegetation help to increase the quantity of oxygen in the atmosphere?
green vegetation are plants and of course plants give out oxygen and take our carbondioxide
During photosynthesis green plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and produce?
6 CO2 + 5 H2O --> C6H10O5 + 6 O2 Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide and water --> carbohydrate and oxygen (!)
How did the oxygen in your atmosphere get there?
The way the oxygen got into our atmosphere is when the green plants do photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to make glucose and of course oxygen. After a while, the plants did enough photosynthesis that the earth got an atmosphere .
What is the major source of free oxygen in atmosphere?
Green Plants
What is the main source of oxygen in the oxygen carbon cycle?
green plants/ autotrophs: trees, grass, shrubs, algae
How oxygen is produce by green plants?
Oxygen is produce by green plants by carbohydrates. This whole process is called photosynthesis.
Which plants produce food and oxygen?
All green plants produce food ande oxygen
Do green plants take in oxygen?
Yes, photosynthesis in plants releases Oxygen.
Why are green plants important to oxygen?
Plants produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. Therefore, we, as animals who need oxygen to breathe, must have green plants in our ecosystem in order to survive.
Why are algae important?
No, they produce Co2 which is used for plants to breathe then the plants produce oxygen. This is wrong. Green algae produce 70 to 80% of the oxygen on earth. We would not exist without them.
Which gas do plants produce?
Oxygen, we pretty much breathe and exhale the complete opposite gases that plants do. Most green plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
How would cause green plants to produce more oxygen?
This production of oxygen is the result of photosynthesis.
What did the green plants produce?
Green plants produce oxygen as a waste product. When plants store energy in the form of food, they use up carbon dioxide. This process is known as Photosynthesis.
How does plants purduce food?
Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which iscalled photosynthesis
What kind of plants produce oxygen for us?
THE GREEN ONES because they have chlorophyl in them.
What do trees and green plants produce that are vital for animals to live?
one of them is oxygen.
What do trees and green plants produce that vital for animals to live?
one of them is oxygen.
