Respiration in Plants
Plants breathe too, breaking glucose to release usable energy. This chapter in NCERT Class 11 Biology, Chapter 12, follows glycolysis, fermentation, the citric acid cycle and electron transport, and shows where each stage occurs in the cell. It explains ATP synthesis, respiratory quotient for carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and factors that change the rate. You will learn the balance sheet of energy, why oxygen matters, and how seeds, fruits and leaves manage energy during growth and storage.
