Question
Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen-free containers, one in the dark and the other in continuous light. Which one will live longer? Give reasons.
Solution
As plants emit CO2 during breathing, plants kept under constant light survive longer. In the case of plants maintained in the dark, CO2 causes a shortage of oxygen, causing the plant to die sooner.
