Describe in detail the stages of plant respiration.

Breathing is not an entirely correct term. For plants, the term “gas exchange” is commonly used. Plants absorb oxygen and carbon dioxide. They need oxygen to support various vital processes, such as oxidation of organic molecules, and so on. Carbon dioxide is needed to support photosynthesis. He, in place with water, thanks to chloroplasts, turns into glucose. When glucose is oxidized, it is decomposed back to carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, the plant not only emits oxygen, but also absorbs it in almost the same amount.
