respiration in plant

Conclusion - Respiration is an important process in nature. It is a process by which the solar energy trapped by the plants in the food can be utilised. The organic compounds are broken down to release energy. This energy is in the form of ATP molecules and is made available for..

Most of plants and animal cells respire aerobically, that is, in the presence of oxygen. However, there are certain microbes that respire in the absence of free oxygen. This respiration is called anaerobic respiration. It is also called fermen..

In plants, breakdown of substances is much slower than in animals. Hence accumulation of waste is much slower and there are no special organs of excretion. Green plants in darkness or plants that do not contain chlorophyll produce carbon dioxide and water as respirato..

Most plants are autotrophic. They synthesize their own food. The green plants, also called the producers, trap the solar energy and convert it into chemical energy of the food. The biochemical reactions in the body which result in the formation of chemical compounds are collecti..

. Without the constant supply of water the plant cannot carry on any of its physiological activities such as photosynthesis, respiration and growth. Obviously an understanding of the manner in which plants get water is important. In this chapter we shall study the abso..

Every organism, whether its body is unicellular or multicellular, is capable of performing all vital functions such as respiration, ingestion, excretion and reproduction. In multicellular organisms, because of the increase in body size, it is difficult for each cell to efficiently c..

Introduction - Every organism, whether its body is unicellular or multicellular, is capable of performing all vital functions such as respiration, ingestion, excretion and reproduction. In multicellular organisms, because of the increase in body size, it is difficult for each cell to effi..

. These tissues can be distinguished into 3 types parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma is a simple, living, storage tissue occurring in every part of the plant body. It also takes part in photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and secretion. Collenchyma is a ..

The energy requirements of metabolic processes are met with to a larger degree by aerobic respiration. Thus the quantity of oxygen available to plants governs their growth ra..
