In plants, respiration occurs in all living cells. Therefore, the correct answer is option D. During respiration, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released as a by-product. The process of respiration is essential for providing energy to the plant and for the growth and development of the plant's cells. While the stomata and lenticel play a role in gas exchange, they are not the only sites of respiration in plants.
@myschool this should be D, respiration occurs in living cells while gaseous exchange occurs in stomata and lenticels
Greetings, The Myschool Team.
The correct answer is D(all living cells) and not C(the stomata and lenticel only). It is pertinent to note that respiration is different from gaseous exchange. Gaseous exchange occurs in the stomata and lenticels, while respiration occurs in all living cells, as it is simply the process of breaking down simple food substances into simpler substances to release energy for life processes. By definition, this must occur in all cells. Thus, the correct answer is D(all living cells) and not C(the stomata and lenticel only). Thank you.
