Answer:

Because they are still respirating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants do not excrete carbon dioxide, but they do release it as a byproduct of respiration or photosynthesis . At night, when photosynthesis stops, the plant continues to undergo respiration, leading to higher rates of carbon dioxide released.
