Plants respire all the time, but it can be seen better at night. This is because photosynthesis has the opposite chemical formula, and since there is light, more oxygen returned out, then carbon dioxide is taken in.

Summarize the carbon cycle starting and ending with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.?
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
What happens in plants at night they respire or they transpire?
Plants do respire at night. It does not require light to take place. This is a process of releasing energy, kind of the opposite to photosynthesising. Photosynthesis is the preparation of the dinner, respiration is the dining process and the belching and flatulence that follows. When a plant respires, it releases carbon dioxide ( at a lower rate than it takes in ), oxygen, heat, water. It occurs on a cellular level with all living things. Transpiration, on the other hand is the process by which plants release water through their leaves, stems, flowers and roots. It occurs during the process of photosynthesis and gets a break at nightime as plants need light to photosynthesize.
Why do plants need to respire 24 hours a day?
Living things that do not respire 24/7 are soon dead things. Respiration occurs in all living cells to provide energy. in plants people often confuse photosynthesis with respiration. Photosynthesis is the extraction of carbon dioxide from the air using light energy to create oxygen and carbon, The carbon is changed into sugars and cellulose by the plant. The plant's respiration (using the sugars to create energy) goes on day and night.
What are five traits that most organisms have?
Living things reproduce, feed, respire, are sensitive to the environment and excrete waste.
Can plants grow in any environment?
No. They must have carbon dioxide (CO2) to be able to respire and therefore make food for itself. If it does not have this then it simply cannot grow and will die. Generally speaking, a plant needs soil as well because it contains vital nutrients such as magnesium to keep healthy. Some plants however can grow in very hostile conditions, such as geraniums. Scientists have got evidence that it would be able to grow in lunar soil on the moon!! Hope that helps, SAM
Why can't plants respire at day?
Plants need to photozynthesis during day does not enable them to respire.
Do all organism breath?
All organisms respire. Plants do not breathe, but they respire. Animals breathe to respire.
Do animals and plants respire like humans?
not like humans but they do respiration but how do they respire then ?
Do tomato plants respirate?
All plants respire.
Do plants respire during photosynthesis?
Plants also should respire every time. These are two separate biological processes
What do plants do to excess glucose?
Respire
Which creatures have no blood but respire?
Plants
Can plants respire and photosynthesize at the same time?
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Do plants respire how do plants obtain air?
Through respiration
Do plants respire all day and all night or only at night?
They respire through out the day.
Do plants and animals respire?
How am i supposed to know
What is the waste gas produced by plants as they respire?
The waste gas produced by plants as they respire is oxygen. This is why plants are very important to the earth. Without plants, there probably would not be enough oxygen in the air for all to breathe.
