Living plants only produce oxygen. Dead plant matter, when it decays, can produce methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other interesting gases.

What plants let out greenhouse gases?

Plants do not emit greenhouse gases. Instead, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen. Other sources, such as decomposition of organic matter in soil or livestock digestion, can emit greenhouse gases like methane.


How is life affected by the presence or absence of plants animals minerals and other resources?

animals need oxygen and plants produce oxygen. if there is no light for photosynthesis, then plants can not produce oxygen and animals cannot survive


How plants and animals help each other in exchangingof gases in the atmosphere?

Plants give out Oxygen. Animals give out Carbon Dioxide. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide, Animals take in Oxygen.


Do plants produce food when there is no oxygen?

Plants need oxygen so they will not grow if there is no oxygen. So if we travel to Mars or the moon, we will have to have to bring oxygen for our greenhouses. Plants improve air quality so we need plants when we visit other worlds.


We breathe in this element and plants breathe out this element?

We breathe in oxygen, which is essential for our survival as it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy. Plants, on the other hand, take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. This process creates a symbiotic relationship between humans and plants, as they exchange these gases crucial for life.


Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?

No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.


Is oxygen good for you?

yes. every living thing --except plants-- needs oxygen in order to survive. we "filter" the air that has many substances and gases in it --such as pollution, oxygen, CO2 (carbon dioxide), hydrogen, etc. --and use the oxygen for our immune system, internal organs, and other necessary things inside of us that need oxygen. we also take in the other gases in the air and breathe out what we don't need. one of the gases that we mainly breathe out is CO2, since there is an increase of it in our atmosphere because of global warming. one of the things that produce oxygen is plants. when they take in CO2, they give out oxygen. that is why plants are very important and we need to stop global warming and other natural effects caused by man kind. now do you understand why oxygen is good for you?


What are other sources of oxygen?

Other sources of oxygen include plants and algae, which produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Additionally, oxygen can be released through the breakdown of water molecules during certain chemical reactions or processes such as electrolysis.


Which gases are in oxygen?

Oxygen is an element - it contains no other constituent gases.


Who is the English chemist who discovered that green plants produces oxygen during photosynthesis?

Joseph Priestley (right) found that plants could "restore ... In other words, he discovered that plants produce oxygen.


'Do Saguaro cactus gives oxygen'?

Yes, like all plants, Saguaro cacti undergo photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct. However, the amount of oxygen they produce is significantly lower compared to other types of plants due to their relatively small leaf surface area.


What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?

In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.
