What happens to plants if the rate of respiration becomes more than the rate of photosynthesis?

HomeArticles, FAQWhat happens to plants if the rate of respiration becomes more than the rate of photosynthesis?

If the rate of respiration is higher than the rate of photosynthesis then the plant will be starving more because the higher rate of respiration leads to more consumption of the oxygen.

Q. How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis experiment?

More oxygen bubbles are produced when the light is closer to the beaker. So a greater light intensity gives a greater rate of photosynthesis.

Q. Why does increasing light intensity increase photosynthesis?

Light intensity – Increasing light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis because more energy is provided. However, if the light intensity is increased above a certain threshold, the rate of photosynthesis will not increase because another factor (such as temperature) is limiting the rate of the reaction.

Q. How does sunlight affect photosynthesis?

Sunlight has a very important job in photosynthesis. The energy captured by chlorophyll can be used in photosynthesis to make sugar. When a plant gets limited sunlight, photosynthesis slows down. This also means that the plant might not be getting enough sugar—its energy source.

Q. At what temperature does photosynthesis stop?

At a temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit – 40 degrees Celsius – the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis lose their shape and functionality, and the photosynthetic rate declines rapidly.

Q. At what point will the rate of respiration be greater than the rate of photosynthesis?

The compensation point With no light, there is no photosynthesis. So the rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide produced during respiration. An excess is the same as a negative uptake.

Q. Why do plants have a respiration rate?

How and why do plants respire? You know that all living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose and make it available in the form of ATP for chemical, osmotic and other work. Plants are no exception. They need to respire virtually all the time in order to supply their energy needs.

Q. When photosynthesis is faster than the rate of respiration oxygen gas is?

During daytime, photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose faster than respiration consumes it. Photosynthesis also uses carbon dioxide faster than respiration produces it. Oxygen surplus is released into the air and unused glucose stored in the plant for later use.

Q. Which plant will produce more oxygen?

Snake Plant a.k.a. Mother-In-Law’s Tongue Considered highly efficient in oxygen production, the Snake Plant otherwise known as the Mother-In-Law’s Tongue, is unique for its nighttime oxygen production, and ability to purify air through the removal of benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene.
