Solution

During day plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen. They respire in day also but because of photosynthesis the release of oxygen is more than carbon dioxide.
At night the process of photosynthesis stops because of absence of light, so they only do respiration at night. During respiration they take oxygen and release carbon dioxide
