Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

FAQ About Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

How do indoor plants balance photosynthesis and respiration?

Indoor plants balance their photosynthesis and respiration activities by aligning them with the light and dark cycles. During the day, photosynthesis predominates, utilizing light to produce glucose and oxygen. At night, or in darkness, respiration continues as plants consume the stored glucose to release energy necessary for growth and repair. This balance ensures plants maintain energy for their metabolic needs.
