Oxygen is produced by photosynthesis, which can only occur when there is light present. Carbon dioxide is produced by respiration, which occurs all the time, including night.

or Respiration can happen without sunlight, but photosynthesis cannot.

What does burning use to produce carbon dioxide - OXYGEN or CARBON?

Both carbon (or a carbon compound) and oxygen are used in the formation of carbon dioxide, which contains both elements.


How do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?

Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis by using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Animals, including humans, consume oxygen during respiration to produce energy and release carbon dioxide. This continuous cycle of oxygen production by plants and consumption by animals helps maintain the levels of oxygen in the atmosphere.


What product do humans produce during respiration that are used by plants?

Humans produce carbon dioxide during respiration, which is utilized by plants during photosynthesis to produce oxygen and glucose.


Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.


Oxygen goes in when you breath or when you exhale?

You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, and plants produce oxygen using carbon dioxide, called photosynthesis.


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.


Does the reduction of carbon dioxide occur during photosynthesis?

Plants use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen, so yes


How do platns produce oxygen during photosynthises?

They dont use oxygen during photosynthesis. They use carbon dioxide. So they use carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. They convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds specially sugar using energy from the sun.


How carbon dioxide creates oxygen?

Carbon dioxide does not create oxygen. Rather, plants and other photosynthetic organisms use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. In this chemical reaction, carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrates, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.


Do plants produce carbon dioxide as part of their natural processes?

No, plants do not produce carbon dioxide as part of their natural processes. Instead, they absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct.


What do plants inhale and exhale during photosynthesis?

plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen


Explain How a rain forest is able reduce carbon dioxide and produce oxygen?

A rainforest can reduce carbon-dioxide and produce oxygen by absorbing carbon-dioxide and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis.
