Sadly, I still don't have a clue how that idea would play out in real life. Would the plant simply not produce oxygen as fast as you breathe it?
In that case, is there not some exotic plant that breathes like a motherfucker?
1. obviously the plant carried with you wouldnt produce enough oxygen
2. how do you swim with a bag around your get and a plant in it.
3. above water plants need lotsa of light for photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide. in the dark, many actually USE oxygen for light interdependent reactions
4. if it was an underwater plant, it needs water around its leaves/ mesophyll, cuz if that dries then its pores freeze shut and it cant bring air in and dies anyways
5. there is more than CO2 in your breath. water vapour for example would fog up your bag if you didnt exhale outside of the bag.
