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.
What is the purpose of a two-step photosynthesis process in which carbon dioxide is collected at night and then processed by day?
This process, called CAM photosynthesis, allows plants to conserve water by collecting carbon dioxide at night when temperatures are lower and stomata can remain closed. The stored carbon dioxide is then used during the day for photosynthesis when sunlight is available. CAM photosynthesis is common in plants adapted to arid climates where water availability is limited.
Why are a plant's stomata generally open during the day and closed at night?
A plant's stomata are generally open during the day to allow for the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen needed for photosynthesis. They are closed at night to prevent water loss through transpiration when photosynthesis is not occurring.
Which process of photosynthesis can occur at night?
During the night, the biochemical process of CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis can occur in certain plants. This process involves storing carbon dioxide taken up during the night in the form of organic acids, which are then used during the day for photosynthesis. CAM plants close their stomata during the day to reduce water loss, and then open them at night to take up carbon dioxide.
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.
What is made during photosynthesis that helps keep plants alive at night?
glucose
When do green plants carry on respiration?
both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs during the day, however, during the night when there is no sunlight only cellular respiration occurs.
Does photosythesis occur at night?
Photosynthesis requires energy from light. If there is no light there can be no photosynthesis. Photosynthesis doesn't occur in the dark. You could use electric lights to simulate daylight and make plants photosynthesise during the night time.
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 do plants less oxygen during the night?
Oxygen is created via the process of photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur on anything beyond stored energy, resulting in a large decrease in oxygen production.Ê photosynthesis stops at night
How does the plant get oxygen?
Most of autotrophic plants get major amount of oxygen from photosynthesis. During night, when there is no photosynthesis, oxygen by plants is obtained from air However, the amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis by plants is manifold of their requirement for respiration.
Why do snake plant leaves close during the night?
Snake plant leaves close during the night as part of their natural process of photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Closing their leaves helps reduce water loss and conserve energy during the dark hours when photosynthesis is not occurring.
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 are a plant's stomata generally open during the day and closed at night?
A plant's stomata are generally open during the day to allow for the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen needed for photosynthesis. They are closed at night to prevent water loss through transpiration when photosynthesis is not occurring.
Does photosynthesis occur at night?
Light is essential for photosynthesis to occur because it is the source of energy, so it doesnt occur during the night. However, CAM plants have the capability to run the light reactions during the day (when there is light) and the Calvin cycle at night. They do this by only opening their stomata at night and allowing the gas exchange then. This is done as a way to reduce the effects of transpiration in dry climates.
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.
