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.

Which of the following statements BEST describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration in plants at night?
Photosynthesis and respiration both cease, maintaining a neutral balance of gases.
Photosynthesis continues at a reduced rate, while respiration increases to compensate.
Photosynthesis ceases, and respiration also ceases to conserve energy.
Photosynthesis ceases, and respiration continues, consuming stored organic molecules and releasing CO2.
In submerged aquatic plants, how does gas exchange primarily occur?
Through specialized air sacs
Through stomata on the submerged leaves
Direct diffusion across the epidermal cells
Through root systems from the surrounding water
