Photosynthesis and
Respiration
Interrelationship
Compensation Point
Respiration occurs at a fairly constant rate all the time, but photosynthesis only occurs
during daylight
Compensation point is when respiration and photosynthesis occur at the same rate
This means the production and consumption of oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose are
equal
Compensation point is different for shade plants and sun plants
