How do plants breath
  • 2 answers

  • Plants too require the phenomenon of respiration for survival.
  • They take in oxygen rich air from the atmosphere and breathe out air rich in carbon-dioxide through the tiny pores present in the lower surface of the leaves known as stomata
  • Root hairs, lenticels, stomata are some of the parts present in plants for gaseous exchange.
  • The roots of plants too respire to generate energy but they follow a different method. They take up air rich in oxygen from air spaces between the soil particles.
  • The breathed in oxygen is supplied to the cells where it is used to break down glucose into carbon-dioxide and water.
  • By photosynthesis the plants produce glucose but the plants require energy to produce food.
  • This glucose is converted into ATP which is the energy currency. Energy is stored in the form of ATP.
  • This conversion of glucose to ATP requires respiration in the presence of oxygen.
