Do plants use photosynthesis to make ATP?
According to biologists, the root of plants receives water from the soil because the rootâ??s solute concentration containing hydrogen is higher than the soil. This is known as osmotic potential. As a result of the root actively pumping hydrogen ions from the soil to the leafy stems in the plants helps manufacture ATP.
What do plants use oxygen for?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration in all cells. During photosynthesis oxygen gas is produced, this is used to produce glucose; oxygen is also then used during anaerobic respiration to break down the glucose to ATP. Oxygen for normal cellular respiration in other parts of the plant is supplied in solution via the root system.
