does photosynthesis take place twenty - four hours of the day? why?
Answers
Answer:
During the day, photosynthesis is dominant, so there is a net consumption of carbon dioxide. At night, photosynthesis stops but respiration continues, so there is a net release of oxygen. ... This is a simple experiment to show that plants produce oxygen during the day and consume it at night.
Explanation:
It is the biochemical process that sustains the biosphere as the basis for the food chain. The oxygen produced as a by-product of photosynthesis allowed the formation of the ozone layer, the evolution of aerobic respiration and thus complex multicellular life.
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured from Sun and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
Since sunlight is an important component of photosynthesis and it is present only during day, Photosynthesis doesn't take place twenty four hours a day.
