Hows does respiration occur in plants?

While cellular respiration in both plants and animals occurs in the mitochondria, the physical processes involved are different. While glycolysis, the Kreb cycle, and the electron transport system are common processes in all living things, the physical exchange of gases in animals occurs through specialized mechanisms. While breathing aids in the physical exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in humans, the physical exchange of gases in plants differs from that of animals in that it occurs through stomatal transpiration, leticells, and other mechanisms.

Aerobic respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria of plant cells, is the process by which plants breathe. It involves the citric acid cycle, also called the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, and glycolysis. During respiration, glucose and oxygen are used to produce energy in the form of ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
