why does tamarind plant release CO2 at night and other trees do not?
Answers
At daytime, carbon dioxide produced during respiration is used up in photosynthesis by plants. So, at daytime not much carbon dioxide is released by plants. However at night, photosynthesis stops. Carbon dioxide produced during respiration diffuses out of the leaves into the environment. Hence, plants release carbon dioxide in greater quantity at night.
hope this answer helps u
pls mark as brainlist if my answer is correct
During the day, plants use up the carbon dioxide produced during respiration through photosynthesis. Therefore, plants don't release a lot of carbon dioxide during the day.
However, photosynthesis stops at night. The leaves release the carbon dioxide produced during respiration into the surrounding air.
Similar to other living things, plants like tamarind trees use up sugars and oxygen to produce energy and carbon dioxide as a byproduct. During the day, they also engage in photosynthesis, a process that turns carbon dioxide, water, and solar energy into sugars and oxygen as a byproduct. Due to the tree's active growth and consequent accumulation of carbon from the sugars fixed during photosynthesis, the ratio of oxygen production to carbon dioxide production will favour oxygen production for a tree that is actively growing.
