HOTS | Respiration in Organisms | Why should we not sleep under a tree at night?

During daytime, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen in the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight. However, they even respire simultaneously and hence also take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. But the production of oxygen is more than the production of carbon dioxide. Hence, if we sleep under a tree during daytime, we may get a good amount of oxygen, thus giving us a nice sleep. However, at night, plants do not perform photosynthesis due to the absence of sunlight. But respiration still goes on. Hence, as compared to oxygen, the proportion of carbon dioxide around the trees is more. Thus, if we sleep under a tree at night, we may feel suffocated due to lack of oxygen. Moreover, inhalation of excess carbon dioxide is harmful to our lungs and health. Therefore, it is not good to sleep under a tree at night. _____________________________________________ HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) Questions are the skills that involve learning that goes beyond mere comprehension.
