To carry out respiration plants need the same things as you do!

To carry out aerobic respiration they need a food source eg glucose, and oxygen:

glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY

To carry out anaerobic respiration they ony need a source of food:

glucose ----> carbon dioxide + ethanol (alcohol) + ENERGY

It is important to realise that plants Cary out respiration all of the time, just as your cells do. Also, remember that respiration is the release of energy from food, not breathing.

YesYes of course they under go respiration. Every organism under go respiration


Do plants need to carry out cellular respiration?

Plants, like the majority of evolved organisms, do use cellular respiration in order to convert energy stored in chemical bonds into usable energy. They do not use it for energy from the sun; this is photosynthesis. Plants do go through photosynthesis more than cellular respiration, so the net effect is a production of glucose and oxygen and consumption of water and carbon dioxide.

Do plants and animals go through cellular respiration?

Yes, they do. Mostly any organism containing cells will go through cellular respiration. Plants and Animals have different body systems, the cardiovascular and respiratory being involved in cellular respiration. The cells need oxygen to survive, therefore they respirate to be able to.


How do plant and animal cells help each other to survive?

Photosynthesis: Plants do the Photosynthesis, if they don't, they die. If the plants die, then herbivores will die out and the carnivores will go with them.Cellular Respiration:


Can plants photosynthesise under water?

ofc they can and do the deeper you go the lesser coral or plants ; they need to be in contact with sunlight to do photosynthesis


What do plants need to under go photosynthsis?

For plants to photosynthesise, they need sunlight, water, co2, nutrients from the soil they then use the suns energy to power the reaction.


What evidence indicates that plants can produce carbon dioxide through the cellular respiration?

When plants go through cellular respiration, they use carbon dioxide and emit oxygen as a waste product. There is no evidence that plants also produce carbon dioxide.
