Answer:

Photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A plant turns carbon dioxide into oxygen by way of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is what makes the leaves green has plays a role in photosynthesis, meaning that there must be a lot of photosynthesis taking place for it to release large amounts of oxygen.

Chloroplasts are organelles within plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis. This process which is utilised by plants to manufacture food, requires carbon dioxide and water which is then converted into glucose and oxygen. Therefore, the release of oxygen tells us that photosynthesis is occurring inside the chloroplast.
