Plants, through photosynthesis, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct

    Late reply, respiration occurs in cells when they burn ATP energy, consuming Oxygen and producing Carbon Dioxide. Photosynthesis creates ATP rather than burn it. Plants will respirate and burn that ATP after it is created, but photosynthesis itself is not respiration. Hope you find this interesting!
