Water and nutrients flow upward from the roots to the leaves, where the cells convert those nutrients into simple sugars using sunlight. The sugars flow down to the roots for storage.

When do plants absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis during the day when sunlight is available for the process.


Why do plants have more sugar in the daytime than in the night?

Plants produce sugar from photosynthesis which is a process that converts the suns light in addition to water and CO2 into energy in the form of sugar. Therefore, plants only go through photosynthesis during the daytime because at nighttime there is no sun and the plant cannot go through photosythesis. Because photosynthesis happens only during the day, sugar is produced only during the day also.


Do pot plants inhale oxygen at night?

Yes, plants typically continue to perform photosynthesis at night, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, although at a lower rate compared to during the day. However, some plants, such as certain types of succulents, do perform a type of photosynthesis called CAM photosynthesis, in which they take in carbon dioxide at night and release oxygen during the day.


Why does photosynthesis not continue during the night like cellular respiration does?

plants respire during the day as well the rate of respiration is lower than the rate of photosynthesis in the day


Why is Rate of photosynthesis is more during a bright sunny than a cloudy day?

During a bright sunny day, there is more sunlight available for photosynthesis, which is an essential component of the process. The more sunlight there is, the more energy plants can absorb to drive photosynthesis. However, during a cloudy day, less sunlight reaches the plants, which can lower the rate of photosynthesis.


How does the process of cactus photosynthesis differ from that of other plants?

Cacti have a unique photosynthesis process compared to other plants because they perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). This allows cacti to open their stomata at night to reduce water loss and store carbon dioxide, which is then used during the day for photosynthesis. In contrast, most other plants perform photosynthesis during the day through a process called C3 photosynthesis, where stomata are open during the day.


What gas is released when plants respire throughout the day?

Oxygen, and it's known as "Photosynthesis" process But during the night, plants release carbon dioxide like a normal human


Would Photosynthesis rate be the highest in a plant during the day or at night?

Photosynthesis rate is highest during the day when there is ample sunlight, which is essential for the process. During the day, plants utilize light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. At night, photosynthesis ceases because there is no light, although plants may still carry out respiration. Thus, the overall rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher during daylight hours.


When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?

In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.


Do plants breathe at night and if so, how does this process differ from their respiration during the day?

Yes, plants do breathe at night through a process called respiration. However, this process differs from their respiration during the day because at night, plants do not undergo photosynthesis, so they rely solely on respiration to obtain energy. During the day, plants use photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight, in addition to respiration.


Which plants release oxygen at night?

There are no plants that release oxygen at night. Plants only release oxygen during the day through the process of photosynthesis.


Why do plants in a field only photosynisise at night?

Plants do not photosynthesize only at night; in fact, photosynthesis primarily occurs during the day when there is sunlight available. However, some plants like CAM plants have adapted to perform a type of photosynthesis known as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, where they open their stomata at night to reduce water loss and take in carbon dioxide, which is then stored and used for photosynthesis during the day. This adaptation allows them to thrive in arid conditions.
