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 plant cells respire?

Yes, plant cells do respire. Cellular respiration in plants involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy, which is used for various cellular activities. While plants also undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food, they still need to respire to obtain energy from the stored sugars.


Do cells respire?

Yes, cells respire. Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in all living cells, where glucose and oxygen are converted into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This process generates ATP, the energy currency of cells, through a series of biochemical reactions.


Does dry seeds respire?

Yes, dry seeds can respire at a low rate through a process known as internal respiration. However, this respiration is minimal as the seeds are in a dormant state and not actively metabolizing. Once the seeds are exposed to water and conditions suitable for germination, respiration rates increase as cellular processes resume.


What is the difference between suffocate and respire?

To suffocate is to be unable to respire. Suffocation may be used to mean the inability to get oxygen (technically asphyxiation) or the inability to breathe, such as due to pressure on the chest or coverage of the nose and mouth.
