they release O2 when they produce photosynthates, and release CO2 when they metabolize those photosynthates. but plants also take up carbon and use it for cellular building, so they sequester more carbon than they release through cellular respiration.
in other words, they take in much more CO2 during photosynthesis than they emit during respiration, and it really isnt very close
How much is the difference?
