Under which conditions do plants give different gases during respiration?

Open in App

Solution

Respiration in plants takes place by the process of diffusion of gases.
The air exchange takes place through the stomata and lenticels.
CO₂ is generated during the day by respiration used for photosynthesis by plants, leading to the release of O₂ in the atmosphere.
Plants release CO₂ at night due to the absence of a photosynthesis mechanism.
