Do plants only respire at night?

they breath all the time like us, beacuse if they did not breath through the night they would die.................................................................................. this is wat i am saying i dont no if it is true


Do plants respire during photosynthesis?

Yes, during photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. However, they also undergo respiration, where they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. So, plants do respire during photosynthesis, but the overall process results in a net release of oxygen.


Why can our cells respire a aerobically for short time?

Our cells can respire aerobically for a short time because of the presence of oxygen in our muscles.


What process occurs at night in water systems that lowers the amount of oxygen?

At night, photosynthesis ceases in aquatic plants, resulting in a decrease in oxygen production. At the same time, aquatic organisms continue to respire, consuming oxygen, which can lead to a decrease in dissolved oxygen levels in the water during the night.


When do plants carry out cellular respiration During the day At night All the time Explain your answer?

Plants carry out cellular respiration all the time, both during the day and at night. While they perform photosynthesis during the day, converting sunlight into energy and producing oxygen, they simultaneously use that energy for cellular respiration to generate ATP. At night, when photosynthesis ceases due to lack of sunlight, plants continue to respire using the stored energy. Therefore, respiration is a continuous process necessary for energy production in plants.

When do plants respire?

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.


How safe is it to sit in a room surrounded with indoor plants especially till late night considering that they respirate and release carbon dioxide and is it safe for us?

Yes it is safe. ALL livings things respire ALL the time! If something does not respirate then it is not considered living under one of the defining rules of life. This means that sitting in a room full of your family members would be the same as sitting in a room with a bunch of plants. Every time you breathe out you are breathing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, much like plants are doing when they respire.

Do plants photosynthesize during the day and night?

Plants primarily photosynthesize during the day when there is sunlight available. They require light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose for energy. At night, plants do not photosynthesize, as they rely on stored energy reserves for metabolism.


Do plant need more C02 in the day time than the night time?

Green plants need carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis, which operates using the energy of sunlight. So it takes in carbon dioxide during the day. At night, plants take in some oxygen for other metabolic processes, using cellular respiration.(Some desert plants take in more carbon dioxide and night because they can store it as weak acids. This limits the exposure of plant enzymes to oxygen. However, these plants, such as cacti, release oxygen during the day as do other plants.)


Why do plants respire?

You know that all living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose and make it available in the form of adenosine triphosphate for chemical, osmotic and other work. Plants are no exception. They need to respire virtually all the time in order to supply their energy needs. They are not able to use the adenosine triphosphate generated in photosynthesis for these purposes. Plants respire in the normal way using glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation etc Often, the respiration is masked by the fact that photosynthesis produces oxygen faster than respiration takes it up and photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide faster than respiration produces it. It is only in the dark that the full effects of respiration become apparent when photosynthesis is brought to a halt.


Do plants respire and how?

Great question! Not as we do, with lungs. which is an active process, but they do breathe by a passive process. Both plants and animals carry on a process called respiration which occurs on a cellular level and involves an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Plants mostly do this in their leaves, which in some ways are similar to our skin (which, incidentally, is the largest organ in our bodies). The process by which all respiration takes place is called diffusion - plants 'breathe' through their leaves - the really cool thing is that they 'exhale' - ready? oxygen...which is why we want trees - because they breathe by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen for us to use in our bodies to do our own respiration.BTW - Animals breathe differently than plants. We do it in two places, in our lungs - as most people are aware - and also in our body tissues. Our lungs take in oxygen (that came from the plants respiration) and we put it in our blood, and at the same time release the carbon dioxide from the blood and put it into the atmosphere so the plants can use it. In addition, we also have a second type of breathing that occurs in all our bodies called tissue respiration. In our tissues, we take the oxygen from the blood and put it in the tissues, and at the same time take the carbon dioxide from the tissues and put it in the blood to be taken to the lungs.


Do plants respire in the day?

No, it is a common misconception that they do. Infact people think they respire as well as photosynthsise, except that more photosynthesis takes place. According to new research this is completely untrue, and the answer is no
