Respiration exceed in the dark better than thatin the light because when its dark it is usually cooler. This helps keep moisture. When its light it is usually hotter. The light can make things dry. For example, if you leave a glass of water out in the sun for a long time it will evaporate. If you try the same with a glass of water in the dark the water might not evaporate or will take longer to evaporte

* this may not always be the case. so dont be suorised if you try and results are different

Does elodea conduct photosynthesis in light and dark?

Elodea can conduct photosynthesis in the light, utilizing light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. In the dark, elodea will not photosynthesize, but will perform cellular respiration, breaking down stored sugars to produce energy.


How does respiration work in plants?

In plants, respiration involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy for cellular functions. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria of plant cells. During respiration, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct.


What is the average ratio of the pulse rate to the respiration rate?

The average ratio of pulse rate to respiration rate is typically around 4:1.


How hould you demonstrate that elodea carries out photosynthesis at a faster rate than it carries out respiration?

Do a pH test. The more CO2 consumed (photosynthesizing) the higher the pH. The more CO2 produced (Respiring) the lower the pH. And if a plant is photosynthesizing and respiring at the same rate, the pH will remain level. During a lab like this, we used bromothymol blue to test the pH levels. It will turn yellow if pH <7, blue if pH >7, and Green as the solution changes from acid to base or base to acid.


What happened when you placed Elodea at the light compensation point?

When Elodea is at the light compensation point, the rate of photosynthesis matches the rate of respiration. This means that the amount of oxygen being produced through photosynthesis is equal to the amount being consumed through respiration, resulting in no net change in oxygen levels in the water.

Does elodea respire in the dark or the light?

Elodea respires in both the light and the dark. However, the rate of repiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis when the plants are kept in the dark.

What will happen to the amount of carbon dioxide buring nightime?

The carbon dioxide produced during respiration during day time is used up for photosynthesis. However during night, the rate of respiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis due to unavailability of adequate sunlight.


Why is a low rate of respiration an adaptation to low light intensities?

In order to store energy, the plants need to photosynthesise at a greater rate than they perform respiration. In low light intensities, less photosynthesis can occur, as there is less light energy available for the light-dependent stage. Therefore, if less respiration is occurring, this allows for the lower rate of photosynthesis, thus allowing the plant to still store energy.


What effects the rate of respiration in plants?

Factors that affect the rate of respiration in plants include temperature, availability of oxygen, and the presence of sugars or other organic compounds that can be broken down for energy. Light intensity and the plant's metabolic activity can also influence respiration rates.


What are the 2 connections between respiration rate and pulse rate?

The respiration rate is your breathing rate and your pulse rate is your heart beat.

Why do dark colors heat up more than light colors?

They have a lower "albedo" if you will. Light objects reflect light at a greater rate than dark objects which absorb it. This is why dark objects heat up more than light ones.


How does light intensity affect the rate of respiration?

Higher light intensity usually increases the rate of photosynthesis, which in turn can lead to higher levels of oxygen being produced. This can stimulate cellular respiration in some organisms as they use oxygen to generate energy. However, excessive light intensity can also damage cells and reduce respiratory activity.


The rate of respiration is determined by what levels in the blood?

The rate of respiration is determined by the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The main controller of the rate of respiration is the brain.
