alleryPlants carry out respiration in
Aevery living cell, using mitochondria
Bonly the leaves, at night
Conly the roots, since they lack chlorophyll
Dthe xylem vessels, which are dead at maturity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. every living cell, using mitochondria
Every living plant cell respires, using its own mitochondria
there is no dedicated breathing organ.
Xylem vessels are dead and don't respire.
Photosynthesis is limited to chlorophyll-bearing tissue, but respiration runs throughout the plant.
