What is the process of respiration in plants?
The water produced in this process also becomes a part of already present water in the body of plants. The process of oxidation or respiration in plants consists of many enzymatic reactions. This process occurs at a faster rate in the parts of the plants having rapid growth like growing seeds, buds, apical meristem of roots and shoots, because these parts require more energy to accomplish the growth process. The gaseous exchange in plant is not very evident during the day time as the products of respiration i.e. carbon dioxide and water are the reactants in the process of photosynthesis. So, the carbon dioxide and water produced in the respiration are utilized in photosynthesis, occurring in the day light.
