Respiration in PlantsRespiration is always occurring in plants; that is to say, plants are continuously taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide and water in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis only occurs during daylight,* in addition to respiration.

* Although the light reactions of photosynthesis can only occur during the day, the dark reactions of photosynthesis in CAM plants occur during the night.

Does cellular respiration occur in plants that also photosynthesize?

Yes it does as these plants contain mitochondria that put some of the glucose made by photosynthesis into the cellular respiration cycle in the mitochondria.

Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration only occur in plants?

No, both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants as well as in other organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and animals. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to produce energy, while cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and produce ATP for energy.


Can respiration occur day or night?

Yes, respiration can occur both day and night. In plants, respiration occurs continuously to generate energy for growth and metabolism. In animals, respiration also continues day and night to supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.


Which of these processes happens in roots Photosynthesis Combustion respiration neutralisation?

Photosynthesis does not happen in roots; it occurs in the leaves of plants. Respiration, on the other hand, does occur in roots as it is essential for energy production. Combustion and neutralization do not typically occur in plant roots.


Does respiration and photosynthesis both occur in all living things?

No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.


Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.


What kind of respiration occur in plants?

Respiration in plants is the same as in other eukaryotes (such as animals), however photosynthesising cells do not need to respire (i.e. use sugar to produce ATP) because photosynthesis already provides ATP. Therefore leaves only require respiration when there is no light.


Does respiration occur in both plants and animals?

Yes, respiration occurs in both plants and animals. Plants undergo cellular respiration to convert glucose and oxygen into energy, while animals also utilize this process to produce energy by breaking down glucose.
