What to Focus On

  • Respiration releases energy from food molecules inside cells.
  • ATP is the usable energy form produced during respiration.
  • Respiration occurs continuously in plants.
  • Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in mitochondria.
  • Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and occurs in cytoplasm.
  • Aerobic respiration gives much more ATP than anaerobic respiration.
  • Plants also respire like other living organisms.
  • Plants do not have specialised gaseous exchange organs.
  • Stomata and lenticels help in gas exchange.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Glycolysis happens only in anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration takes place only in mitochondria from the very beginning.

Glycolysis produces a net gain of four ATP molecules.
