DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called “aerobic respiration". In plants, there are two types of respiration: dark respiration and photo respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -All green plants breathe through the process of Cellular respiration. In this process, nutrients obtained from the soil are converted into energy and are used for different cellular activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lower organisms like bacteria or other prokaryotes perform this type of respiration. Anaerobic respiration is also observed in some lower and nonvascular plants, including Bryophytes, etc. Thus, Plants are both aerobic and anaerobic.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria and requires oxygen. Plant cells do not have mitochondria and therefore cannot respire using aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm, therefore plants do experience anaerobic respiration.
