As a whole, plants tend to release more oxygen than carbon dioxide into the environment, but the ratios of gases differ at various times of the day. plants tend to take in more carbon dioxide during the day and release more oxygen. at night, they tend to take in more oxygen and excrete more carbon dioxide. how does the model support this phenomenon?

During the day, due to the presence of sunlight, the process of photosynthesis peaks over that of respiration. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates releasing oxygen as a byproduct. During the night, because there is no sunlight, the rate of photosynthesis drops. This, therefore, causes the rate of respiration to surpasses the rate of photosynthesis. In respiration, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released.

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
