Does a plant breath in carbon dioxid?then gives oxigon?
Plants actually do both. They breathe in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen (photosynthesis), as well as breathes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide (respiration) Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms, such as plants. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight; and the end-products are oxygen and (energy rich) carbohydrates, for example sucrose, glucose and starch. This process is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life on Earth either directly or indirectly depends on it. It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, phytoplankton, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs. On the other hand, plant respiration is the oxidation of certain substrates by enzymes, leading to a release of carbon dioxide. It can be loosely thought of as the opposite of photosynthesis, though the net release o
