Hello Everyone! Welcome to another article! Today Let's learn about Respiration In Plants!

During the day plants take in Carbon Dioxide for photosynthesis and release energy and oxygen. However, at night they inhale oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide. Ever wondered how they do that? Let's learn about it today!

RESPIRATION THROUGH ROOTS

Did you know that roots also breathe. They absorb the oxygen from airspaces prsent between the soil particles. Hence we say not to overwater the plants as water may displace the air spaces and effect the growth of the plants.

So these were the three methods through which plants respire. Hope you learned something new and we'll will meet you in the next article. Happy Learning!
