7. Respiration in Plants

Respiration in plants involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy, either using oxygen (aerobic) or without it (anaerobic). Various respiratory processes provide energy for essential functions, while factors such as temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels influence the rate of respiration. Understanding respiratory mechanisms and their significance is crucial for recognizing plant metabolism and growth.
