Does elodea breath in oxygen

Elodea, like other aquatic plants, undergoes photosynthesis, which produces oxygen as a byproduct. During the day, it takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the water. However, like all living organisms, Elodea also respire, consuming oxygen during the process of cellular respiration, especially at night when photosynthesis does not occur. So, while it produces oxygen during the day, it also "breathes" in oxygen for its metabolic processes.
