Question

Sarah learns that terrestrial plants have a different respiratory pattern during the day. What is this difference she learned about?

A. 

Terrestrial plants make use of the ozone layer for respiration.

B. 

Terrestrial plants consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide during the day.

C. 

Terrestrial plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen during the day.

D. 

The respiratory process of the terrestrial plants converts carbon to carbonates during the day.

Answer 1

C. Terrestrial Plants Consume Carbon Dioxide and produce oxygen during the day

Step-by-step explanation:

During the night, the plant consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The terrestrial plants are defined as those plants that grows in the land areas. These plants have a certain respiratory pattern during the day time. The plants takes up Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and releases Oxygen (O₂) during the day time, in the presence of sunlight, which enables it to prepare their own food. This process is known as the photosynthesis process.

These plants at night time, releases nearly half of the Carbon (C) it consumes during the day time, so these plants remain a net Carbon sink.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
