Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen free containers, one in the dark and other in sunlight. It was observed that plant kept in dark could not survive longer. Give reason for this observation.
Marking-scheme solution
The plant kept in dark is unable to carry out photosynthesis and due to absence of oxygen it cannot respire.
But the plant kept in light is able to photosynthesize converting \(\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_{2}\) into oxygen which it can use for respiration.
