Do plants really release Oxygen?
Plants are generally planted for the reduction of air pollution and to provide a refreshing breath to us. But how did it happen? Actually many of us have a wrong perception that plants releases oxygen and intakes carbondioxide But in the Respiration, the process which involves uptake of oxygen and release of carbondioxide, there is no oxygen which is released in the environment and instead of that carbondioxide is releasing. So how it is helpful to us and to the environment? During the process of photosynthesis, plants utilises carbondioxide, water,sunlight as the major components and prepare its own food material. Photosynthesis takes place only during day time. Thus plants utilises carbondioxide for photosynthesis which helps in reduction of that harmful gas from the atmosphere. But during the night time photosynthesis process is not possible as there is no light. So plants undergoes only Respiration process at night. It might be harmful to our health to be near the
