The plant was performing cellular respiration, releasing carbon dioxide.

Answer for screen readers

The plant was performing cellular respiration, releasing carbon dioxide.

More Information

In the absence of light, photosynthesis stops and only cellular respiration occurs. This process releases carbon dioxide, which can change the pH and color of the solution.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming photosynthesis occurs without light. Remember, photosynthesis requires light, so in the dark, only respiration takes place.
