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.
