why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in green plants when kept in asunlight

Solution

Because during day time in presence of sunlight plants are undergoing photosynthesis. During the process oxygen is evolving and carbon-dioxide is used by the plants. But during respiration oxygen is consumed by the plants so it cannot be demonstrated.
