Solution

The correct option is A All of the above

The process by which cells obtain chemical energy by the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide is known as respiration. In order to carry on respiration, plant cells need oxygen and a means of disposing of carbon dioxide just as animal cells do. In plants, each part such as root, stem performs respiration because plants do not possess any specialized organs like animals for the exchange of gases.

The process of respiration is expressed as:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)

So, the correct option is 'All of the above'.
