Where I come from, we call it "snoring," though "dark respiration" is definitely a cooler descriptor.

Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?

Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.


What does a plant has to do once it is dark in cellular respiration?

When it becomes dark, a plant continues to undergo cellular respiration to convert stored glucose into energy (ATP) for its metabolic processes. Unlike photosynthesis, which requires light, cellular respiration occurs continuously, utilizing oxygen to break down glucose. The byproducts of this process are carbon dioxide and water, which the plant can later use during photosynthesis when light is available again. Thus, even in darkness, plants rely on cellular respiration to meet their energy needs.


How are plants able to conduct cellular respiration after kept in the dark for weeks?

Plants can conduct cellular respiration in the dark because they possess stored energy in the form of starch and other carbohydrates. During the absence of light, they break down these reserves to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through cellular respiration. This process allows them to maintain essential metabolic functions, even when photosynthesis is not occurring. Essentially, while photosynthesis generates energy using light, cellular respiration allows plants to utilize their stored energy when light is unavailable.


What cell organelles are responsible for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Photosynthesis: CO2 +H2O + Light Energy ----> O2 + carbohydrate Photsynthesis takes place in plants cells and in some bacteria. It takes place in the chloroplasts, which are little green circles of pigment. The light reactions take place in the chloroplast's thylakoids and the dark reactions take place in the stroma. The light reactions reduce water into oxygen and the dark reactions convert CO2 into energy. Respiration: O2 + carbohydrate -----> CO2 + H20 + energy CELL RESPIRATION OCCURS IN THE MITOCHONDRIA!!!!!!!


Respiration of Euglena?

Euglena is a single-celled organism that performs both photosynthesis and respiration. During respiration, Euglena takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, producing energy in the form of ATP. The process of respiration in Euglena occurs in the mitochondria, where glucose is broken down to release energy for the organism's metabolic activities.

Why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in green plant kept in sunlight?

A plant respires in the dark.


Why the rate of respiration exceeds in the dark than that in the light?

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 gas do plants use in the dark?

In the dark, plants stop using carbon dioxide for photosynthesis as there is no sunlight to drive the process. Instead, they mainly respire by taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

Why it is not possible to demonstrate respiration in a green plant kept in sunlight?

It is not possible to demonstrate respiration in a green plant kept in sunlight because during photosynthesis, green plants use sunlight to produce energy in the form of glucose, which is then used in respiration to obtain energy for cellular activities. Respiration occurs simultaneously with photosynthesis, but the oxygen produced in photosynthesis is generally consumed by the plant during respiration, making it difficult to observe the process explicitly.


What substances are produced in photosynthesis and respiration?

Glucose and water is produced in photosynthesis.ATP is produced in respiration
