Question

Rate of respiration is low in plants why

Answer 1

Explanation:

When plants are grown at a low supply of nutrients, their rate of root respiration is lower than that of plants that are well supplied with mineral nutrients, due to reduced growth rates and ion uptake. Root respiration rates were lower in dry soil than in wet soil during the 110 days of study (Bryla et al. 1997).....

Answer 2

Because plants mainly do the process of photosynthesis (during day) which does not involve respiration. They only respire during night and acts like us.
