Question

Write the chemical equation of aerobic respiration and tell the name of surfaces from where the plants absorb the oxygen from atmosphere. Why the plants do not have respiratory organs as animals have ? Write any two causes. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. This type of respiration takes place in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic entities. Food molecules are completely oxidised into the carbon dioxide, water, and energy is released in the presence of oxygen. This type of respiration is observed in all the higher organisms and necessitates atmospheric oxygen.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP).

• 2.Plants do not need any specific type of respiratory organs like animals because plants have stomata in their body. By these stomata plants do their respiration for their body. The stoma is present throughout the body of the plant
• Respiratory system, the system in living organisms that takes up oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide in order to satisfy energy requirements. In the living organism, energy is liberated, along with carbon dioxide, through the oxidation of molecules containing carbon. The term respiration denotes the exchange of the respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the organism and the medium in which it lives and between the cells of the body and the tissue fluid that bathes them.
