Which gas exaust by baniyan tree pipal gives which gasafter photosynthesis?
Answers
Most plants largely uptake Carbon dioxide (CO{-2})and release oxygen during the day (photosynthesis) and uptake oxygen and release CO{-2} during the night (respiration). Some plants such as Peepal tree can uptake CO{-2} during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM).
However, it is not true that they release large amounts of oxygen during the night. CAM is one of the three types of photosynthesis pathways occurring commonly in plants; the other two being C3 and C4 pathways.
Explanation:
During the day, they break down the malate and use the released CO2 through Kalvin cycle to produce sugars, similar to C3 plants. Peepal tree is a hemiepiphyte in its native habitat i.e. the seeds germinate and grow as an epiphyte on other trees and then when the host tree dies, they establish on the soil.
