At night, most plants switch from photosynthesis to respiration, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This process occurs because there is no sunlight for photosynthesis, which typically produces oxygen. However, some plants, like succulents and certain orchids, continue to uptake carbon dioxide at night through a process called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis. Overall, the primary gas plants "breathe" at night is oxygen.

When do plants use carbon dioxide night or day?

Plants use carbon dioxide in the daytime as part of photosynthesis which occurs in the chloroplast. They use the CO2 and make sugars. People breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite. They breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.One small "technical" detail that should be mentioned. Plants really don't breath, they respire. People breath.So, at the night, the plant cells respire more than they photosynthesise, so they get rid of more carbon dioxide than oxygen.


Do bushes breath?

yes bushes breath they are plants plants breath to


Should plants breath in oxygen or carbon dioxide at night?

Plants take in carbon dioxide during the day and release oxygen through photosynthesis. At night, plants do not photosynthesize and instead undergo respiration, where they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.


Do plants only respire at night?

they breath all the time like us, beacuse if they did not breath through the night they would die.................................................................................. this is wat i am saying i dont no if it is true


Can Plants Breath?

Yes plants can breath! They have pores on the underside of there leaves called stomata, In the day the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen and at night plants take in oxygen. Plants do not have lungs like animals do and thus do not breath in the same way as people. Gases pass in and out of a plant using pressure differences. The stomata or holes are regulated by two guard cells that open and close the holes as the plants respond to there environment.


How do animals usually depend on plants?

animals usually depend on plants for oxygen. we breath out carbon dioxide and breath oxygen in, same with animals. and plants breath that carbon dioxide in and and breath out oxygen.


What type of air do you breath?

we breath in oxygen and plants breath co2


Why animals need plants?

Plants breath in the CO2 we breath out and then turns it into O2 for us to breath in again, mutually beneficial.


Can you breathe oxygen?

Yes, you breath in oxygen that plants give off and breath out carbon dioxide that plants take in.


Why do plants give out carbon dioxide in the dark and oxygen in the light and can this reduce oxygen in the bedroom at night?

Plants release carbon dioxide during respiration, which occurs both day and night. In the presence of sunlight, plants undergo photosynthesis, where they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis is usually more than the carbon dioxide released during respiration, so there should not be a significant reduction in oxygen levels in a bedroom at night due to plants.


Which animals and plants depend on each other?

All of them. The plants turn the carbin dioxide converted by you into oxygen and then you can breath. You then, when you breath out, give out more carbin dioxide for the plants to breath, and give you more oxygen, Etc...


What is the difference between plant and humans?

Plants let out Oxygen which is what humans breath in and we let out Carbon dioxide which is what plants breath.
