Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration occurs all through the day, but the photosynthesis process occurs in the daytime, in the presence of sunlight only.
Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, respiration takes place both during day and night to keep the plant alive. However, it is prominent at night. At the same time, photosynthesis takes place only in the presence of light, that is during the daytime.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants release oxygen during the day in the presence of natural light through the process of photosynthesis. While at night, the plants uptake oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which is called respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Respiration occurs day and night, whereas photosynthesis can only take place in the daytime, in the presence of sunlight. Aerobic cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The energy released through cellular respiration is stored in ATP molecules, which can be broken down and used when needed by the cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Plants carry out photosynthesis only during the day and respiration only at night.
