How does aerobic Respiration occur in plants?

Question

Wiki User · Answer

Respiration in plants occurs in the same cellular compartments as in other eukaryotes. So glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, and the TCA cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

The difference between plants and animals is that photosynthesis can also provide ATP for the cell and therefore plants only respire if there is no light. So plant leaves would typically respire at night and photosynthesise during the day.

Aerobic respiration occurs in plants the same way it occurs in animals. Basically, certain molecules derived from sugars, fats and proteins are transported to the mitochondrion of the cell. These molecules then donate high-energy electrons to a system known as the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain uses the high energy electrions to pump hydrogen out of the inside of the mitochondrion.  Once hydrogen is forced out of the inside of the mitochondrion, it wants to return (where there's more room for them to float around!). One of the very limited ways to get back into the inner mitochondrion is through a protein called ATP synthase. Once hydrogen flows through ATP synthase to get back into the inner mitochondrial space, ATP synthase is able to make ATP. ATP is the cell's fuel, and is used to provide energy for cellular reaction.

Every living cell (plant or animal) always respires. In plants during resting period anaerobic respiration occurs for example in the seeds during storage.

Respiration in plants takes place in the mitochondria of the plant cells. They create energy and also produce water and carbon.
