<p>Which plant is the most efficient in making oxygen for it's weight? I want to think it is the greenest plant with more leaves and least                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  trunk in full sun?</p>

Some quick research suggest that the answer very much depends on environmental factors such as amount of sunlight received and growth cycle. For example, over the course of a year, some trees go from bare branches to fully leaved; they're not producing at all for part of the year. Whereas algae rapidly multiply in the proper circumstances and die when they're not productive. (This UC Santa Barbara post suggests that the answer isn't known: http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=832) Which is to say, your answer might depend on providing a specific context.

I just read an article saying that algae produces more oxygen than all the plants in the world!!
