Describe the exchange of gases which takes place in the leaves of a plant (i) during daytime, and (ii) at night.Answer the given question in detail.
Answers
Answer:
i) The plants collect carbondioxide (CO) for the process photosynthesis (photo ; light , synthesis ; process) and gives oxygen (O) during day time
ii) The plants does after the process of photosynthesis (photo ; light , synthesis ;process) and gives carbondioxide (CO)during night time
Answer:
During day time oxygen diffuses out and carbon dioxide diffuses in. At night, oxygen diffuses in and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
Explanation:
During day time oxygen diffuses out and carbon dioxide diffuses due to the process photosynthesis as for this process carbon dioxide is taken in and used as raw material for forming glucose as food and oxygen as a byproduct .
At night, oxygen diffuses in and carbon dioxide diffuses out due to the process of respiration in plants. Photosynthesis does not occur at night due absence of sunlight.
