Hi Ronald,
No it is not so - during day time the plants *supply* oxygen for the
animals to breathe <g> as apart of the photosynthesis. We breathe out
CO2 and the plants inhale that. At night plants use some oxygen. But the
total balance is OK - it is the system that plants and animals have (one
breathes in what the other breathes out) that keeps us all alive :-)
