Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen gas from the air (taken in through the stomata) combines with the glucose, which is then broken down producing carbon dioxide and water. During this process, energy is released. This energy will be used by the plant to perform life functions such as growth and repair.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. In many ways, respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy produced during respiration is used in many different ways, some examples of what it is used for are: Working your muscles. Growth and repair of cells. Building larger molecules from smaller ones i.e. proteins from amino acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.
