why green leaves and other green parts of a plant are not used to demonstrate the process of respiration

Solution

Dear Student,

This is 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.
