Best Answer: yes, plants use oxygen at night... However, plants can't produce glucose, carbohydrates and oxygen without light. To get through the night, most plants reverse the process of photosynthesis and breathe, like you and I, by burning carbohydrates and oxygen while producing carbon dioxide and water.
The quick answer to your question is that oxygen is just a waste product when plants do photosynthesis. Plants can do two important things: Use energy from the sun to turn CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and H 2 O (water) into sugar (C 6 H 12 O 6) with oxygen (O 2) left over. This is photosynthesis. And they can: Break down the sugar (C 6 H 12 O 6) into CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and H 2 O (water), but they need (O 2) oxygen to do it. This is cellular respiration. We can only do the second thing.
