What time does a plant stop both respiration and photosynthesis?

when it dies


Does respiration occur in both plants and animals?

Respiration occurs in both animal and plant cells but photosynthesis occurs in plant cells. Respiration is defined as the oxidation of glucose to release energy, both plant and animal cells respire glucose.


How do the processess of photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together?

both of which are released into the air during respiration. And during respiration, the plant needs oxygen and glucose, which are both produced through photosynthesis!


Comare and contract the functions of photosynthesis and respiration?

Photosynthesis is making glucose for the plant and only occurs in the plant. While, respiration occurs in both plants and animal enabling them to breathe.


Why plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?

Yes. They use photosynthesis to produce sugar from sunlight, and cellular respiration to digest the sugar for energy (ATP).


Why do plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?

because plant cells are organism that can live through life


What is organelle that carry out cellular Respiration an photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are processes carried out in separate organelles within the cell. Cellular respiration occurs within mitochondria present in all living cells - both plant and animal. Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells only.


What do photosynthesis and respiration has in common?

Photosynthesis and Respiration both occurs and plants and both produces oxygen.


Does respiration occur in plant or animal?

In both. In plants they use photosynthesis during the day and at night they use cellular respiration because there is no sun to produce the energy needed with photosynthesis. In animals they only use cellular respiration.


Why do plant cells need both chloroplasts and michondria?

Chloroplasts are needed for photosynthesis. Mitochondria is needed for respiration


Is it true of false that both respiration and photosynthesis take place in some plant ells?

Yes it is true. Both of them happening in cells.


Would photosynthesis or cellular respiration occur in a plant if the plant was underwater?

Yes, it most definitely would. Both oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are essential elements in the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, are both found in water. Oxygen and CO2 are found dissolved in the water, and can hence be used by underwater plants, such as seaweed.
