Plants also should respire every time. These are two separate biological processes

When do plants respire?

Plants respire all the time, but it can be seen better at night. This is because photosynthesis has the opposite chemical formula, and since there is light, more oxygen returned out, then carbon dioxide is taken in.


How safe is it to sit in a room surrounded with indoor plants especially till late night considering that they respirate and release carbon dioxide and is it safe for us?

Yes it is safe. ALL livings things respire ALL the time! If something does not respirate then it is not considered living under one of the defining rules of life. This means that sitting in a room full of your family members would be the same as sitting in a room with a bunch of plants. Every time you breathe out you are breathing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, much like plants are doing when they respire.

Our cells can respire aerobically for a short time because of the presence of oxygen in our muscles.

Why do plants respire?

You know that all living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose and make it available in the form of adenosine triphosphate for chemical, osmotic and other work. Plants are no exception. They need to respire virtually all the time in order to supply their energy needs. They are not able to use the adenosine triphosphate generated in photosynthesis for these purposes. Plants respire in the normal way using glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation etc Often, the respiration is masked by the fact that photosynthesis produces oxygen faster than respiration takes it up and photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide faster than respiration produces it. It is only in the dark that the full effects of respiration become apparent when photosynthesis is brought to a halt.


Do plants respire and how?

Great question! Not as we do, with lungs. which is an active process, but they do breathe by a passive process. Both plants and animals carry on a process called respiration which occurs on a cellular level and involves an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Plants mostly do this in their leaves, which in some ways are similar to our skin (which, incidentally, is the largest organ in our bodies). The process by which all respiration takes place is called diffusion - plants 'breathe' through their leaves - the really cool thing is that they 'exhale' - ready? oxygen...which is why we want trees - because they breathe by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen for us to use in our bodies to do our own respiration.BTW - Animals breathe differently than plants. We do it in two places, in our lungs - as most people are aware - and also in our body tissues. Our lungs take in oxygen (that came from the plants respiration) and we put it in our blood, and at the same time release the carbon dioxide from the blood and put it into the atmosphere so the plants can use it. In addition, we also have a second type of breathing that occurs in all our bodies called tissue respiration. In our tissues, we take the oxygen from the blood and put it in the tissues, and at the same time take the carbon dioxide from the tissues and put it in the blood to be taken to the lungs.


Do plants respire in the day?

No, it is a common misconception that they do. Infact people think they respire as well as photosynthsise, except that more photosynthesis takes place. According to new research this is completely untrue, and the answer is no


What happen if all plants bloomed at the same time?

if all plants bloomed at the same time most of them will die cause too many plants will soak up the minerals from the soil, leaving the other plants with no nutrients, causind them to die
