Question

If the rate of respiration becomes more than the rate of photosynthesis, plants will:

विकल्प

• continue to live, but will not be able to store food

• be killed instantly

• grow more vigorously because more energy will be available

• stop growing and die gradually of starvation

Answer 1

stop growing and die gradually of starvation

Explanation:

When the rate of respiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis, the plant will stop growing and gradually die of starvation. Initially, the plant will rely on its stored food reserves to meet its energy needs. However, if this imbalance continues, these food reserves will eventually be depleted, leading to the plant’s eventual death.
