just something that crossed my mind...
could you breathe in a room with no oxygen... if you had .. like a bunch of plants?

Plants do not emit enough oxygen to ventilate you in an air tight room of average size. People have tried living in a huge biosphere dome with plants,and it works for awhile, but it's not entirely without problems.

not a bunch of them - or the bunch of plants should have been that big (and the room too) that you could perfectly survive for with the air itself even without the plants. the production of oxygen is not that fast
reason - plants dont move around, so they have slower metabolism than us humans - the balance is obtained by having many times more vegetable than animal matter on Earth
agree with phanthoms rose

Plant needs like to produce oxygen (this process is call photosynthesis) otherwise, it uses oxygen and produce carbon dioxide like we do.
I have attached a link on photosynthesis.
