Cellular Respiration

During respiration, oxygen enters the leaves and carbon dioxide exits through the stomata. So that means photosynthesis is just opposite.

Now, if the plants exchange the same amount of gas in photosynthesis and respiration then there is no gas exchange.

So in adaptation, what happens is that cellular respiration happens 24/7 but at a low level. And when the sun is out, it does a lot of photosynthesis.

⁠

That means when there is a lot of sunlight, there will be more photosynthesis. And when there is no sun light, there will be a lot more cellular respiration.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Reactants: Glucose and Oxygen Products: Water and Carbon Dioxide and ATP

Formula: C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O + ATP

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Reactants: Caron dioxide and Water Products: Oxygen and Glucose

Formula:

C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

So basically, photosynthesis produce glucose and oxygen. That glucose then during cellular respiration is used to create ATP, a energy-carrying molecule founded in everything living things.

And for the oxygen, they exits through the stomata.
