Reduced
3. C6H12O6 + 6O2 ? 6CO2 + 6H20 + ENERGY represents:
Photosynthesis
Aerobic respiration

Respiration
4. At which times there is no net gaseous exchange between leaves and the atmosphere.
Day time.
Night time.
Dawn & Dusk.
Mid night.
5. Which of the following is a compensation point:
Leaves respire and utilize O2 and release CO2.
