Question

explain the process of respiration in the roots of plant

Answer 1

In plants respiration also takes place through roots. In soil oxygenated air is present in air spaces between soil particles. This oxygen is absorbed into the roots by root hair present on the roots. In fact, a root hair is a lateral tubular outgrowth of the outer epidermal cells of a root. The oxygen present in between the soil particles diffuse into the root hairs. From root hairs, oxygen is supplied to all the parts of roots for respiration. During respiration, oxygen is converted into carbon dioxide gas which is diffused out of the roots by the same root hairs. 

Answer 2

Heya!!! Here is your answer :

CO2 is acquired from the atmosphere and converted into organic compounds in the process of photosynthesis. Plant used these organic compound to build structural components or Respire them to release energy.When plant respiration occurs below-ground in the roots, it adds to soil Respiration...
