Do house plants release Oxygen 24/7 under artificial light in the room or sun light is necessary.?

Chlorophil reacts only in sun light or it can react under any light.

Plants can sustain photosynthesis (and release oxygen) from any lightsource that has enough energy. But plants can also get stressed by too much light and actually get sick. They might also grow in unnatural ways, like growing sprouts all over, if "fed" the wrong amount of light for too long periods of time.



Plants are tuned to natural light during ordinary hours but some plants can even "OD" on sunlight. When the sun shines too hot during a hot day they sometimes shutdown photosynthesis and begin to perspire.



It all comes down to what kind of plant it is. An ordinary house plant should release oxygen if the artificial light is not too intensive.
Reply:I believe any light. There's no such thing as "sunlight" and "house light," they are simply adjactives, trying to describe where the "energy" comes from. Both lights produce energy, which is what the plants take in. So I believe that oxygen can be released when a plant is inside.
