Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is respiration?
A
The way a plant grows
B
The way a plant releases excess waste
C
The way a plant makes its food
D
When way a plant uses sugar for energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The process of using glucose to make energy is called cellular respiration. The reactants, or what we start with, in cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. We get oxygen from breathing in air. Our bodies do cellular respiration to make energy, which is stored as ATP, and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some of the uses of glucose in plants include the glucose made from photosynthesis. Glucose is used for respiration (aerobic and anaerobic). It is also converted into starch so that it can be stored for future energy needs. It is stored in the stem, leaves and roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -During respiration, the glucose generated by photosynthesis is broken down through a reaction with oxygen, another product of photosynthesis. This is how energy, in the form of ATP, is released from the food synthesized by photosynthesis.
