Respiration can happen without sunlight, but photosynthesis cannot.

∙ 7y agoOxygen is created via the process of photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur on anything beyond stored energy, resulting in a large decrease in oxygen production.Ê

∙ 13y agoThere is less light so less photosynthesis occurs. Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis. I don't know how much detail you want about photosynthesis..... but basically, the plant takes in carbon dioxide and water. In a process known as "photolysis", it breaks down the water into electrons, H+ ions and oxygen. The oxygen is released through the stomata in the bottom of the leaf, while the electrons are used to reduce a molecule called NADP and make another molecule called ATP. The reduced NADP and ATP are then used in the "calvin cycle" to make complex organic molecules such as glucose from the carbon dioxide.

∙ 12y agoDuring the day, carbon dioxide and water are photosynthesized into various sugars, but this process requires light. The sugars are unstable in the presence of certain enzymes, and dehydrate with the addition of oxygen, producing CO2. This is an exothermic reaction that gives the plant energy; in fact, it's technically a combustion reaction.

Do plant produce when they have no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
The abundance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is partly because of what?
The Process of Photosynthesis that plant use to produce energy food is responsible for a lot of oxygen being freed into the atmosphere.
Will a plant still produce oxygen if you pluck off a leaf?
Leaves do most of the oxygen producing. As long as the plant still has other leaves to process photosynthesis with, plucking one leaf won't do too much harm.
How does carbon dioxide support life?
Carbon dioxide (and water) is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars (and oxygen), which may either be consumed in respiration or used as the raw material to produce other organic compounds needed for plant growth and development.
Which plants give oxygen all the time?
in the day, the plant will give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, but at night they take in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide :)
What does a plant produce during photosythesis?
Oxygen and glucose
Why do plant produce more carbon dioxide than oxygen during the night?
Respiration can happen without sunlight, but photosynthesis cannot.
Is the snake plant the only plant the produces oxygen at night?
No, gerbera daisy and aloe also produce O2 at night
What plant produce oxygen at night?
Mother-in-law's Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Do Snake plant produces oxygen at night?
Plants need light to produce oxygen so if there is no light no oxygen is made.
When does a plant use up oxygen?
it doesn't it takes in the carbon dioxide and then turns that into the oxygen ============== Actually, at night plants consume oxygen, but only a small fraction, compared to the amount they produce during the day.
What substance is produce by the plant during the process of photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
What gas do plant release at day time and night time?
Oxygen. Because the plants need sunlight to produce it.
How can a plant produce sugar during the night?
because they have sprinkelers to water them
Do plantes give off corbon dioxide?
Yes, houseplants give off carbon dioxide during darkness and when dormant. Houseplants, and any green plant, absorb carbon di-oxide (Co2) and produce oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. During the day they absorb more then they produce and produce oxygen but during the night they give off carbon dioxide. Some people believe this is why all flowers are removed from bed sides in hospitals during the night. This is of course ridiculous. People in the hospital produce more CO2 than plants could possible produce. Also if this were true we would have to wear oxygen masks at night since no photosynthesis happens after dark.
What does the plant take in and give out during a night?
it take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide
What materials are produced by the plant during the process of respiration?
During sunlight hours, plants produce oxygen as a gas and energy in the form of ATP. Animals use oxygen that the plant produces to form ATP it needs for energy. The animals produce carbon dioxide gas which the plant uses.
