It's the comment equivalent of the 'Lorem Ipsum' dummy text beloved of the printing and typesetting industry, when they need specimen words to illustrate how a piece of text would look: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua (it's not Latin, although it has roots in that language).
Something similar happens in plants. When the rate of respiration is more than the rate of photosynthesis, the biomolecules present in plants break down to compensate the reduced rate of photosynthesis. This results in loss of dry weight of the plant. Views Â· View Upvotes.
It is very interesting how photosynthesis and cellular respiration help each other. During photosynthesis, the plant needs carbon dioxide and water-- both of which are released into the air during respiration.And during respiration, the plant needs oxygen and glucose, which are both produced through photosynthesis!he sugar glucose is important because it is necessary for cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, the chemical energy in the glucose molecule is converted into a form that the plant can use for growth and reproduction.
