Trees and other plants "breath out" oxygen as a by-product of Photosynthesis - This is how plant use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide "breathed in" from the atmosphere, plus taken up by the tree's roots, into sugars and starches which they stores and use for energy to power all their life processes.

Like you and me, trees also "breath in" a little oxygen and "breath out" a little Carbon dioxide when it is dark, as part of "respiration" which is how sugars are burnt in our bodies to produce energy for our life processes.

So yes - trees do absorb oxygen, but much, much less than they give out for us to breathe in.

What is the life process for which leaves of a tree absorb light?

Leaves of a tree absorb light primarily for the process of photosynthesis. During this process, chlorophyll in the leaves captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose serves as energy for the plant's growth and development, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere. This essential process not only sustains the tree but also supports life on Earth by providing oxygen and organic matter.


Do plants absorb oxygen along with CO2?

Plants primarily absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. They do not absorb oxygen in the same way that they absorb CO2. Oxygen is mainly taken in through plant tissues for respiration, where it is used to break down sugars and produce energy.


Top ten trees producing more oxygen ASKED BY VU2CRD?

You cannot determine which top ten trees produce the most oxygen. It does not go by the type of tree as much as it goes by the individual tree. A tree's age, and health impact how much oxygen is produced.


What gas do humans take from the air and absorb into the blood?

Humans take oxygen from the air and absorb it into the blood through the process of respiration.


Is that true about trees turn carbon dioxide into oxygen?

Yes. Trees take in carbon dioxide and water. Using sunlight they turn this into carbon, oxygen and sugar. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. This is called photosynthesis.

How much oxygen can one tree produce?

On average, a mature tree can produce enough oxygen for two people for a year. This can vary depending on the species and size of the tree. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis.


What tree can absorb oxygen through water?

Aquatic plants, such as certain species of mangroves and submerged aquatic vegetation, can absorb oxygen through water via their leaves, stems, and roots. These plants have adapted to live in waterlogged environments where they can take in oxygen directly from the water.

Will people be able to survive without trees?

no because tree give us oxygen which we need and the absorb carbon dioxide which is bad for humans.


What do organisms do with the oxygen they absorb from the air?

Organisms use the oxygen they absorb from the air for their cells. The cells need this oxygen in order to carry out their functions.
