Growing Science Plant Respiration
All living organisms need food for energy, but to use that energy, they must first release it through respiration.
In plants, food is created through photosynthesis, which uses captured light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into complex molecules like glucose and starch. These compounds are stored in plants, but the energy is not immediately available. Respiration allows plants to tap into that stored energy to power growth and other biological processes.
In this blog post, we’ll explain how respiration works, …
