Respiration and photosynthesis both occur during the day. However, at night only respiration occurs which consumes oxygen.

Answer;

C. Photosynthesis uses some of the carbon dioxide released during the day.

Explanation;

-Cellular respiration is the process of conversion of food into energy. In this process, CO2 is formed and O2 is used. Photosynthesis on the other hand, is the process of formation of food by absorbing CO2 and releasing O2 as byproducts in plants.

-During day time, plants perform photosynthesis (since sunlight is present). Thus, plants use their own CO2 released by respiration process. Thus, during day time, plants give out more of O2 compared to CO2.

-However, during night time, plants perform only respiration and no photosynthesis (since absence of sunlight). Thus concentration of CO2 released is higher during night time.

Damming rivers is useful for
Zepler [3.9K]

Damming rivers is useful for Producing Electricity

Explanation:

  • Damming of rivers involves constructing dams on rivers and store the excess of water and in turn prevent the floods.
  • Damming of rivers find another extensive use. i.e. the production of Hydroelectricity.
  • Water reserved in Dams have a great Potential energy due to a great mass and height.
  • When allowed to fall from such height the potential energy converts into kinetic energy.
  • This kinetic energy rotates the turbine and thus its mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
