Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does respiration in plants takes place?
A
Fruits
B
Cytoplasm and mitochondria
C
Stem
D
Root
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Respiration In Leaves Leaves consist of tiny pores known as stomata. Gaseous exchange occurs through diffusion via stomata. Guard cells regulate each of the stomata. Exchange of gases occurs with the closing and opening of the stoma between the inferior of leaves and the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration in plants occurs in the mitochondria, just like in animal and fungi cells. The mitochondria is a membrane bound organelle that is specialized for making ATP. The mitochondria contains two membranes, which are important in the last step of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles whereas aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
