Respiration in Plants: The Essential Process for Growth and Survival Introduction Imagine the plants in your garden—without them, life on Earth would look very different. Plants need a special process called respiration to stay alive and grow. While many people think only of photosynthesis when it comes to plants, respiration is just as important. Unlike photosynthesis, respiration happens all the time, even when it’s dark. Understanding how plant respiration works helps us see its role in farming, ecology, and science. Basically, respiring plants create the energy they need to grow, repair, and survive in changing environments. What Is Plant Respiration? Definition and Basic Concept Respiration in plants is a process where cells break down sugars to release energy. Think of it like a power plant converting fuel into electricity. Plants produce sugars during photosynthesis, but they need another process—respiration—to turn this sugar into usable energy. This process occurs inside ...
