Question

if a plant is growing by incorporating carbon into its body, is the rate of photosynthesis or the rate of cellular respiration higher?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of cellular respiration is higher.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants makes its food. This food is very significant for the plant and those who eats these plants. The factors which affect photosynthesis ,light intensity,carbon dioxide  and temperature.

Light intensity: Without  enough light plant cannot photosynthesize even there is plenty of carbon dioxide and temperature.

If there is no light the carbon dioxide uptake is below Zero(0) With no light there is no photosynthesis.So the rate of respiration higher than the photosynthesis.

If the light intensity increased the rate of photosynthesis will also be higher and more carbon dioxide uptake by the plant during photosynthesis
