Respiration in Plants BIOLOGY 263 Notes MODULE - 2 Forms and Functions of 12.1 RESPIRATION Plants and animals Respiration is the stepwise oxidation of complex organic molecules and release of energy as ATP for various cellular metabolic activities. It involves exchange of gases between the organism and the external environment. The green as well as non-green
To store the energy released in respiration, ATP molecules are generated which is further used for biosynthesis, transportation of molecules across cell membranes. Aerobic Respiration in Plants and Animals: Aerobic respiration in plants and animals utilize oxygen to generate energy storing ATP molecules. This process is mostly preferred in the breakdown of pyruvate which is formed as a result of glycolysis, requiring the mitochondria to be completely oxidized in the Krebs cycle.
