Plants:
- Plants breathe in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. But during the day, the amount of carbon dioxide released is much less than the amount required for photosynthesis.
- So, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for preparing food. At night, photosynthesis does not occur hence they take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide.
- Therefore, it is said that during the daytime, plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, and during the night it is vice-versa.
Final Answer: the given statement is incorrect.
