Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False? “Aerobic respiration occurs in plants and animals all of the time.”
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration process takes place in all multicellular organisms including animals, plants and other living organisms. During the respiration process in plants, the oxygen gas enters the plant cells through the stomata, which is found in the epidermis of leaves and stem of a plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Aerobic respiration is the chemical reaction used to release energy from glucose. It is called aerobic because oxygen from the air is also needed. glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)Plant cells respire, just as animal cells do.

Detailed explanation-4: -All organisms respire in order to release energy to fuel their living processes. The respiration can be aerobic, which uses glucose and oxygen, or anaerobic which uses only glucose. Respiration must happen all of the time so that the organism can survive.
