Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What gas is released from the plant during RESPIRATION?
A
carbon dioxide
B
oxygen
C
nitrogen
D
argon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration. Respiration is also the process by which once-living (organic) organisms are decomposed.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
