Respiration among Plants
Respiration among Plants
Respiration in Plants: Plants do not have any special organ to perform respiration. They exchange gases through stomata and large intercellular spaces present throughout the plant body ensure that all cells are in contact with air.
Root, stem and leaf are involved in this process.
1) Gaseous exchange in stem: In woody plants, gaseous exchange occurs through the small pores in the stem called ‘lenticles’. On the other hand, in herbaceous plants. Stomata on the stem aid in the respiratory process.
2) Gaseous exchange in leaves: In leaves, respiration takes place by diffusion of oxygen through stomata into the cells of the leaf. Stomata are the aerating pores present on the epidermis of the leaf. Each stomata pore is bordered by a pair of kidney shaped guard cells bearing chloroplasts in them. During daytime, when photosynthesis occurs, the carbon dioxide is rapidly used up, while the oxygen release is the major event. On the other hand, during night time, the elimination of carbon dioxide takes place.

3) Gaseous exchange in Roots: The root cells too require oxygen to produce energy. Roots have numerous tiny hairs on them. The soil has air trapped inside it. The oxygen (air) present in the soil diffuses into the root hair and is transported to the entire plant. The waste products formed in the form of water vapour and carbon dioxide are sent back to the surrounding through root hair by the process of diffusion. The soil of the potted plant is tilled so that air can reach to the soil at the bottom of the pot. If the plant is watered continuously, then the level of oxygen will decrease because too much of water will remove all the air present between the soil particles and the plant may die due to suffocation.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
