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

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.


How does respiration work in plants?

the respiriration is such a oxidative reductive process ... and during plant it have two complex more process consist of seriese of steps DARK reaction and Light reaction.................... dark reaction need no light wheather in day time or night time...................... some how the light reaction are done in the prescence of light ..........during the light reaction the formation of the light reaction is just one ATP Which is responsible for the production of dark reaction .............

What is respiration rate?

The respiration rate is the number of breaths taken in 1 minute.


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.
