Is this for real? Does it really emit oxygen like a plant?

Are you honestly telling me that you think the rate of respiration cancels out photosynthesis completely?

Has it not occurred to you that the rate of photosynthesis in ideal conditions (and rainforests certainly have this benefit) can be up to 10 times greater/more efficient than the rate of respiration?

Tree's, algea and other plant life yes, consume oxygen and consume carbon dioxide.
Now i'm sure that any sane person will say that carbon dioxide does not work very well with humans which is true as carbon dioxide makes the body react badly and can lead to death.
plants are helping us survive even though you say they don't oxygenate the world as you are so putting.]]>Oct 16th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/

You have apparently never even taken a high school biology course. Oxygen is not used by the body to break stuff down old tissue. EVER. That is a complete lie.
Here is truth: elemental oxygen, O2 (what we breathe in), acts as a final electron acceptor in the last steps of cellular respiration. That is, when you eat food, the cells chemically manipulate it to create ATP, a usable form of chemical energy for cellular processes. Long story short, the food is used to provide some high-energy electron which travel down a cascade (the Electron Transport Chain). The release of their energy here is the main source of the energy used to make ATP. Oxygen the guy who hold on to the spent electrons, eventually forming water (it picks up H+ from the solution).
Antioxidants DO NOT attack elemental oxygen, O2. in fact they don't even necessarily attack oxygen radicals. They attack oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent is one that would promote oxidation, which is merely a description of a electrochemical reaction. Essentially, it is these bullies that go around, unhappy with their unstable electron configuration. They are highly reactive because of this instability, as they try to steal electrons to make them more stable. They can damage very stable molecules because of this high reactivity. Oxygen radicals are very strong oxidizers, but are certainly NOT O2. Antioxidants are merely molecules with the ability to quench a radical without reforming another.

so josh, next time you are going to post something. try to not post things that are so clearly untrue. And yes, i am correct about all this. I am a senior molecular biology major at U of Pitt. i know what im talking about.]]>Oct 16th 2008 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/Oct 16th 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/
the reaction also happens in our blood, oxidation of fats in the blood is similar to rusting. when bad cholesterols become oxidized, they are more likely to build up and result in arteriosclerosis. antioxidants like vitamin e that contain tocopherols protect these fats from oxidation.

the air we breath is used in an entirely different process, i said also to infer that oxygen is used by the body for a positive, but also reacts with the body negatively. *use* might have been the wrong word, but what i said is true.]]>Oct 16th 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/Oct 16th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/cnus-oxygen-emitting-robotic-plants-deforestation-solved/
