how does plants respire?
Answers
Answer:
From the air through the stomata
Explanation:
As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration". In plants, there are two types of respiration: dark respiration and photo respiration.
Explanation: respiration in plant is a process in which plant absorb free oxygen molecule to produce water .
As photosynthesis (plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration".)
You know that all living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose and make it available in the form of ATP for chemical, osmotic and other work.
Plants are no exception. They need to respire virtually all the time in order to supply their energy needs. They are not able to use the ATP generated in photosynthesis for these purposes.
Plants respire in the normal way using glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation etc.
