Question

Which among the following is the most reason for storing green coloured apples at low temperatures?

• A. The rates of respiration and photosynthesis are reduced
• B. The rate of respiration is reduced
• C. The rate of photosynthesis is reduced
• D. Respiration and photosynthesis are completely inhibited

The correct option is B The rate of respiration is reduced

When green coloured apple are stored in low temperature the cellular proccess in the apples also gets reduced for conserving energy due to which the rate of respiration is reduced and the aging process is slowed down.

So, the correct answer is 'The rate of respiration is reduced'
