supposedly if plants carried out photosynthesis and respiration at the same rate, then the plant would have no excess sugars (energy)to last them the night... remembering that photosynthesis would only work in daylight hours. Thus, the plant would starve to death basically every night and there would be no life on the earth. All the plant eaters would die making the meat eaters die with them and then there would be no CO2, which is required in photosynthesis... yeah it would be chaotic.

i would do a little more research if i were you to make sure im right :)

What is plant metabolism?

Plant metabolism can be defined as the combination of two processes known as photosynthesis and respiration. These processes make it possible for plants to grow and reproduce.


What is the relationship between photosynthesis respiration and plant cells?

Cellular respiration is a form of oxidation that produces energy by combining glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis is combining oxygen with sunlight and water to create glucose, a plant's energy form (ours is ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate). They're both energy making processes in organisms, to put it simply. Hope I helped. I'm in grade 7 bio right now and we learned this:) BvR


How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration important parts of the carbon cycle?

Photosynthesis is the process in which carbon dioxide is converted to glucose, so carbon is stored.Respiration is the process in which carbohydrates are converted to water and carbon dioxide, so that carbon is released again into the air.During these processes, both animals and plants help themselves survive by either releasing energy or storing it. Meanwhile carbon is returned back to the air.


What is chlorophall?

Chlorophyll is the chemical that gives plants their green color. It is also the chemical responsible for absorbing sunlight and creating carbohydrates for the plant's nutrients from CO2 and Water.


What are three functions of a leaf?

they contain chlorophil, vital for absorbing sunlight to photosynethise - making 'food' for the plant. they catch water from rain, and it drains from here to the roots, to be soaked up. some plants can clone, making one stem identical to the whole plant, so the leaves can be cloned too, meaning there is more room for photosynthesis to take place. hope this helped.

What happens to plant if the rate of respiration becomes more than rate of photosynthesis?

The plant's fine - until it runs out of stored "food".


What is plant respiration biology?

photosynthesis.


What organelle does photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in?

Respiration occurs in two compartments - glycolysis in the cytoplasm and the TCA cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria. However, cells that are actively photosynthesising do not need to respire because ATP is synthesised in the chloroplast.


Which of these processes happens in roots Photosynthesis Combustion respiration neutralisation?

Photosynthesis does not happen in roots; it occurs in the leaves of plants. Respiration, on the other hand, does occur in roots as it is essential for energy production. Combustion and neutralization do not typically occur in plant roots.


Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.


Do plant cells carry on respiration and photosynthesis?

Yes, plant cells carry out respiration and photosynthesis. During respiration, they generate energy by breaking down glucose to produce ATP, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In photosynthesis, they convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.


Plant cells use photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

True. Plants need photosynthesis for food production. Respiration is for energy production


Why do plants need to take CO2?

For plant respiration and photosynthesis.


What time does a plant stop both respiration and photosynthesis?

when it dies


What process involves photosynthesis and respiration?

A plant uses photosynthesis to create food (glucose) and respiration(glycolysis) to break down the food it has made.


What is the reaction for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

it breaks down the glucose and photosynthesis into the plant and makes it grow.


Do plant cells need photosynthesis?

plant cells need photosynthesis and respiration to create energy for cell work, reproduction, and repairs.
