Yes. Plants need oxygen to survive, and plant cells are constantly using oxygen. ... Respiration in plants is like photosynthesis run backward: instead of capturing energy by manufacturing sugars and releasing oxygen, cells release energy for their own use by breaking down sugars and using up oxygen.

What does a plant not need to get from its surroundings?

A plant does not need to get oxygen from its surroundings because it produces its own through photosynthesis.


Why is oxygen not needed in photosynthesis?

Oxygen is not needed in photosynthesis. In fact it is produced by photosymthesis and eliminated from the plant as a waste product.Plants of course do need some oxygen for the same reason that we do. They use oxygen in respiration - the process in which food is 'burned' to release energy. However photosynthesis produces more oxygen than the plant uses up in respiration, so the excess isremovedfrom the plant into the atmosphere.For a very simple introduction to photosynthesis see http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/biology/green_plants_1.shtmlFor more detail see http://www.biology4kids.com/files/plants_photosynthesis.html


What substance is released during photosynthesis that consumers need and use during respiration?

Oxygen


What gas do cells need for photosynthesis?

They need Carbon dioxide.They release oxygen during it


Plant cells need energy in glucose that is released by?

photosynthesis, a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose produced during photosynthesis serves as the primary energy source for plant cells.


What does a plant need during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide AND water AND light


What does a plant need to make food during photosynthesis?

sunlight and water


What is the reason why plants need oxygen?

Plants need oxygen to drive the process of respiration. Although it is often forgotten, even plants respire, taking in oxygen, and using it to create ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which the plant would use an an "energy currency". Unlike the plant's need for CO2, very little oxygen is diffused through the stroma, as enough oxygen is made during photosynthesis to satisfy the plant's need. So to conclude, plants need oxygen for aerobic respiration, so that they can create ATP for energy


What does plant need to produce its own food and energy?

Plants need Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and sunlight to produce glucose. This process is called photosynthesis and during this process oxygen is released as a by product, thats why plants provide us oxygen.


What materials does a plant need during photosynthesis?

light, water, and carbon dioxide


Why do plants need oxygen?

Plants need oxygen for aerobic respiration. Although photosynthesis produces oxygen as a waste product, and this oxygen is used for aerobic respiration, plants still need oxygen to survive, as the oxygen produced as a waste product of photsynthesis is not always sufficient to supply the plant with all the oxygen it needs.


Plants need to do this to produce their own food and energy?

Plants need to undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food and energy. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
