Plants absorb carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. They release carbon dioxide, usually at night, through respiration.
Photosynthesis is a process that uses the energy of light (photo-) to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars that can then be converted into plant material (-synthesis) as well as releasing oxygen. In the process of converting the sugars created by photosynthesis into other plant material, plants consume some oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This is particularly noticeable at night or when light is low and hence photosynthesis is not occurring. This process where they release carbon dioxide instead of taking it in is known as respiration. In general, the plants release more oxygen during photosynthesis than they consume in respiration and likewise consume more carbon dioxide in photosynthesis than they release in respiration.
Oxygen gas (O2) is the main gas given off during photosynthesis, while carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas taken in during the process.
Plants give off oxygen and glucose during photosynthesis. Oxygen is released as a byproduct, while glucose is the primary source of energy that plants use to grow and function.
Oxygen is the waste material given off during photosynthesis. It is a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions in which water is split to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
The two substances given off during respiration are carbon dioxide and water. These substances are used again during photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
The gas given off by photosynthesis is oxygen, plants take in carbon dioxide and generate it into oxygen.
No, they do not both produce carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose, while respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose and produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Oxygen is given off during the process of photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
