Question

Why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in green plants?

Answer 1

Green plants:

1. All living things are able to create the energy they need to survive through a series of chemical reactions known as respiration.
2. Both photosynthesis and respiration are carried out by plants.
3. The gaseous exchange that takes place during respiration and photosynthesis is exactly the opposite of one another.
4. While breathing utilises oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and does the opposite.
5. As a result, the plants can reuse the gases they provided following each encounter throughout another cycle.
6. Since both of these cycles occur continuously in green plants, it is difficult or impossible to depict the course of breath in green plants in this way.
