Which of the following processes are associated with plants during dark period?
-
- Photosynthesis and respiration
- Respiration and transpiration
- Transpiration and conduction
- Conduction and respiration
- Photosynthesis and respiration
Correct Option: D
Conduction is the process by which vital nutrients are transported to the different parts of a plant. This process is independent of the light factor. Respiration process in plants is the intake of carbon-dioxide and exhales oxygen during the day as the plants gets energy through the photosynthesis process in which the carbon-dioxide is converted into sugars using the sun light energy, as this process uses carbon-dioxide and water, the resulting gas oxygen is given out as a waste product. During the night, as the photosynthesis process cannot be happening without sun, so it exhales the carbon-dioxide itself.
