Question

How do plants release oxygen and not carbon dioxide in the air

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants release oxygen into the air through a cool process called photosynthesis. They use sunlight, chlorophyll (a green pigment), and water to turn carbon dioxide into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. It's like a plant superpower! The oxygen they make gets released into the environment through tiny openings called stomata on their leaves. So, plants not only make food for themselves, but also give us the fresh oxygen we need to breathe.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of photosynthesis converts sunlight and water into glucose which has a by-product of oxygen. The plant then consumes the glucose using cellar respiration and converts the glucose with oxygen into energy and carbon dioxide. Plants release both oxygen and carbon dioxide, but they use photosynthesis way more often so they release more oxygen and consume more carbon dioxide.
