Answer:
The answer is compensation point.
Explanation:
The point where the rate of release of carbon dioxide becomes equal to the rate of consumption of carbon dioxide is called compensation point. Similarly, at this point, the rate of release and consumption of oxygen also becomes equal to each other.
In simple words, it means that at the compensation point there is no net release of carbon dioxide or oxygen. Usually, compensation occurs early in the morning or in the evening when sunlight is not sufficient to carry out photosynthesis. There is no extra oxygen or carbon dioxide during the compensation period.
