Question

How do plants respire?

Answer 1

• Plant leaves and roots play a major role in the respiration process.
• Leaves have small tiny pores called stomata which helps in the gaseous exchange.
• Roots don't have stomata. They directly take up the air from the air spaces present in the soil.
• Once the air is enters the cell, the oxygen from the air is utilised to produce energy from glucose. And as a result, the carbon dioxide and water are given out as the byproduct.
