The compensation point in plants is reached when...
Photosynthesis ceases entirely, and only respiration occurs.
The rate of photosynthesis equals the rate of respiration, resulting in no net gas exchange.
Respiration ceases entirely, and only photosynthesis occurs.
The plant switches from C3 to CAM photosynthesis.
