Why it is not possible to demonstrate respiration in a green plant kept in sunlight?

We can't demonstrate an experiment of green plants because if sunlight is present the co2 produced in respiration will be used in photosynthesis. So we must conduct an experiment of green plants in a dark room.

When you look at a green leaf why do you see the color green?
a leaf look green in sunlight as it has green colored pigment in it. When sunlight falls on it all other colors are absorbed by the leaf as sunlight forphotosynthesis and green color is reflected to our eyes and the leaf look green to us.
Why are chlorophyll a and b green?
They both absorb al of the wavelengths of sunlight except for green.
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which traps sunlight. This pigment is contained in the chloroplasts.
What is needed by green plants to make food?
water, air, and sunlight.
Contains chlorophyll a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plant their green color?
Chlorophyll
Why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in green plant kept in sunlight?
A plant respires in the dark.
What is the respiration of green plants?
Photosynthesis, 6co2+6H2o+ sunlight=C6H12O6+6o2 Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of Photosynthesis C6H12O6 =6CO2+6H2O.
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.
Do plants absorbs water in the absence of sun light?
In the absence of sunlight, green plants can not photosynthesise, but the can respire (that is "breathe") normally. Respiration of plant tissues does not require sunlight.
What is potassium hydroxide used for in an experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is produced by green plants during respiration?
Potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to produce potassium carbonate.
Do ferns get energy from respiration?
Ferns and other green plants get their energy from light through the process of photosynthesis. Respiration refers to processes in animals during which oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released while energy is produced.
Why is the lamina generally thin flat and green in colour?
The lamina is green due to the chlorophyll inside. It is flat to maximise the surface area so that it can absorb as much sunlight as possible, while its thin nature is to facilitate gaseous exchange(and make it easier to absorb sunlight).
Why is that the leaves appear green even in the absence of sunlight?
the green color of the leaf is due to the presence of plastids called chlorophyll not sunlight. this is d reason why they appear green even in the absence of sunlight.
Do dandelions need sunlight?
All green plants need sunlight to produce food. Dandelions are green plants.
What is a sunlight-absorbing chloroplast?
Green
What are the characteristics of green plants?
sunlight
If sunlight were green what color is best to wear on a hot day?
green!
