Plants utilise Oxygen both during day as well as night for respiration. During the day the plants photosynthesise. In photosynthesis process plants use Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Plants don't need so much oxygen for respiration.
They use some of it and release the remaining which animals use for their respiration. So you can say that plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen during the day. At night plants cannot do photosynthesis because there is no light. But they continue to respire for which they take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide however Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is much more than that utilised during respiration so over all plants give more Oxygen than they consume.

    When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.

    Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.
