Question

Why the leaves show negligible rate of respiration in this ganong's experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

Respiration in plants happens throughout the day and night thereby carbon dioxide is produced. However, during the daytime, the amount of carbon dioxide released is negligible compared to the amount of oxygen produced as a result of photosynthesis. Hence, one should not sleep under a tree at night....

Answer 2

Answer:

• Ganong's experiment is performed to demonstrate the process of respiration in the plants using respiroscope.
• The resectoscope is a bulb-like an apparatus in which the parts of the plant are kept and attached to the KOH solution through a glass tube.
• When the leaves are kept in the resectoscope then a very little rate of respiration is observed as the leaves are the primary site for the process of photosynthesis and release oxygen, therefore, the respiration rate will be low.
