RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does cellular respiration provide plants?
A
ATP
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
oxygen
D
Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants get oxygen for cellular respiration from their chloroplasts and the atmosphere. When plants are illuminated they can carry out a process called photosynthesis which produces sugars from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants do require oxygen for respiration which in return gives out carbon dioxide. Unlike animals, plants do not have any specialized structures for gaseous exchange but they have stomata (present in leaves) and lenticels (present in stems) which are involved in the exchange of gases.
