We breathe plant farts
We breathe plant farts
Plants, through photosynthesis, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct

Breathing farts is a funny idea, but the product of plants' respiration is not at all comparable to farts. It's comparable to breath
Fairly minor correction, but photosynthesis is essentially the opposite of cellular respiration. Plants do respirate and release CO2, but their photosynthesis more than offsets their respiration.
I see! I didn't know respiration only referred to what animals do. I figured they were both two sides of the same coin
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!
