The rate of respiration must be greater than the rate of photosynthesis.

|
The rate of photosynthesis must be equal to the rate of respiration.

|
Alternating rates of photosynthesis and respiration.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The rate of photosynthesis and respiration generally increase as temperature increases. When the rate of photosynthesis exceeds the rate of respiration, plants grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rate of photosynthetic absorption of carbon dioxide is higher during day times as compared to the rate of respiratory release of carbon dioxide. This results in the production of the greater amount of oxygen by photosynthesis than the amount needed for respiration. Hence there is build of oxygen in cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -For a green plant to survive, grow, and produce mature fruit, the rate of photosynthesis (production of glucose) must be greater than the rate of respiration (consumption of glucose).
Detailed explanation-4: -Well, the rate of photosynthesis is usually faster than respiration, so a plant produces more oxygen than it needs for itself. It also produces more sugar than it needs right away, which is how it has some left over to store.
Detailed explanation-5: -The vital needs of a plant are very much like our own-light, water, air, nutrients, and a proper temperature. The relative importance of each of these needs differs widely among plants.
