A
Produces energy for growth and production by oxidising carbohydrate molecules produced in photosynthesis into CO₂ and H₂O and energy (ATP) for the energy needs of plant cells and processes.

Q
Equation of respiration
A
6O₂+C₆H₁₂O₆ ——–› 6CO₂+6H₂O+energy
3
Q
What are the 3 phases of respiration
A
- Glycolysis (occurs in cytoplasm)
- Kreb cycle ( occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria)
- Electron transport system (carried out by the enzyme on the cristae of the mitochondria)
