Question

Who diffusion helps plant in respirationrespiration?

Answer 1

The process of diffusion is extremely important for the uptake of substances into cells.Diffusion is particularly important during gas exchange.Diffusion is the process of something moving from high concentration to low concentration In respiring cells, oxygen must be taken up into cells to be used in respiration whilst carbon dioxide must be removed as a waste product. However, in photosynthesising plant cells, the opposite also occurs also as carbon dioxide must be taken up into the cell and oxygen should be expelled as a product.

During respiration In Leaves oxygen from the air enters into a leaf through stomata and reaches all the cells by the process of diffusion. This oxygen is used in respiration in cells of the leaf. The carbon dioxide produced during diffuses out from the leaf into the air through same stomata.

So diffusion is an important process which helps plant for gas exchanging duriing respiration.
