Detailed explanation-1: -Plants, like animals, take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide during respiration. Only during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is A True. During photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide(CO2) gas is taken in through stomata from the atmosphere. Oxygen(O2) gas is released through stomata into the atmosphere as a by-product.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Plants prepare their food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, it is. Plants need oxygen to survive, and plant cells are constantly using oxygen. Under certain circumstances, plant cells need to take in more oxygen from the air than they generate themselves.
