Question

Plants typically absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen during the day. However at night this tends to be the opposite and plants will absorb oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.

Please expalin:
A) What are the names of 2 processes are happening in plants that cause this
B) when each process happens
C) why each process happens when it does
(this is science)

Answer 1

It happens because of the process of respiration in which plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. As soon as the sun rises another process called photosynthesis starts, in which carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is given out

Step-by-step explanation:

process: respiration, and photosynthesis

when: as soon as sun rises

why: Plants and animals, in turn, convert the food compounds by combining it with oxygen to release energy for growth and other life activities
