Solution

Dear student
Yes, plants carry out respiration whole day.
Plants respire all the time, means whole day and night. But the process of photosynthesis only occurs during the day time when there is sunlight.
When there is light there is more of photosynthesis but respiration is also there. During dark period, there is only respiration, no photosynthesis.
