Question

Explain the process taking place during the night in a plant?

Answer 1

Respiration in plants takes place both in the day and at night. In the day time plants perform photosynthesis which releases oxygen. Respiration requires oxygen and it gives out carbon dioxide. At the day time when carbon dioxide is released by the plants by respiration is taken up by the plant itself for photosynthesis. But as at night there is no photosynthesis, the release of carbon dioxide takes place in more amounts. Thus it is not prescribe to stay under a tree at night.
