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.

Air leaving human lungs during exhalation contains?
what is the answer A. no Oxygen B. Mostly Carbon Dioxide C. Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen D. Mostly Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide E. None of this choices are correct
Is carbon dioxide used in plants?
Carbon dioxide is combined with the hydrogen from NADPH to produce glucose
Can animals produce oxygen?
No. Animals do not give plants oxygen. Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of the photosynthesis process by which they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Animals and humans give plants carbon dioxide.
Starting billions of years ago algae lowered the levels in the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the name of the process that will take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen?
oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle
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 do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Do plant produce when they have no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
What is produced during the process of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide is produced during the process of cellular respiration During cellular respiration energy is released in the form of ATP. Oxygen is reduced to form water and Carbon of glucose combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Thus, carbon dioxide, water and energy are produced during cellular respiration.
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.
What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide then oxygen?
During the night
What chemicals produce carbon dioxide?
Carbon and Oxygen
Is carbon dioxide a waste for a plant?
No, Carbon dioxide is used by the plant to produce sugars during photosysnthesis. In this reaction Oxygen is a waste or by-product
What is the role of the oxygen- carbon dioxide cycle?
Through the process of photosynthesis, a plant takes the carbon dioxide from the air produces and releases oxygen back into the air. They produce oygen and use carbon dioxide during the day.
An atmospheric gas made up of one carbon atom for each two oxygen atoms?
Carbon dioxide. One carbon for every two oxygen atoms means carbon dioxide. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.
