Plants take in CO2 and give off Oxygen, but most people tend to forget that during the night most plants actually reverse this cycle (light dependent vs light independent reactions, high school biology, yuck!)...so my question is, would having a plant in your room increase your risk of O2 deprivation and suffocation during the night? i know it sounds silly but it makes sence in my head :)
@tipoomaster Cactus and some other succulents don't have the same metabolic schedule as other green plants. they release O2 into your room at night. Also my understanding of the reactions is that the oxygen atoms that go into the released CO2 are actually coming from the H2O
