Compensation point is

A

Where there is neither photosynthesis nor respiration

B

When rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration

C

When entire food synthesis into photosynthesis remain utilized

D

When there is enough water just to meet the requirement of plant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Compensation point is existed in morning and evening time. At this time the rate of photosynthesis (intake of `CO_(2)`) and rate of respiration (outcome of `CO_(2)`) is equal. At this point no exchange of `CO_(2)` is possible through stomata. The unit is lumen.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are not correct? I.Compensation point is the state,when photosynthesis and respiration exactly balance each other. II.The respiration that inhibits in the presence of cyanide is called cyanide resistant respiration. III.The high rate of respiration during fruit ripening is called respiration climacteric. IV.Pentose phosphate pathway is an alternate method of anaerobic respiration.

Assertion. The atmospheric concentration of CO_(2) at which photosynthesis just compensates for resoiration is referred to as CO_(2) compensation point. Reason. CO_(2) -compensation point is reached when the amount of CO_(2) uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of CO_(2) is more than that required for achieving CO_(2) -compensation point.
