What is difference between respiration and transpiration?
Transpiration is the process through which plants lose water, and respiration is the way they acquire energy. During respiration, cells in plants and animals convert glucose (sugars) into a usable form of energy. The majority of water loss (95 percent) occurs through the stomata in the process of transpiration.
How are transpiration and respiration related?
To obtain the energy from the food it produces, plants must break down the sugar in the cells throughout the plant in a cellular process called respiration. Cells require glucose and oxygen gas to undergo respiration. Plants lose water through the leaves. This process is called transpiration.
What is the difference between transpiration and photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a plant process that converts atmospheric carbon dioxide into more complex organic compounds, especially sugars, using energy from sunlight. Transpiration. Transpiration is water taken up from the soil and lost through the stomata in the leaves.
How does plant respiration differ?
Plants do not breathe, they only respire through their leaves. Animals breathe air for cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide released during respiration is utilized by plants for the photosynthesis process. In night-time, plants take in oxygen and give out the carbon dioxide produced by respiration.
What are the differences between transpiration and translocation?
*Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves in the form of water vapour whereas translocation is the transportation of synthesized products (sugars)in a plant. *Transpiration always occurs against the gravity while translocation does not always occur against gravity.
Do plants prepare food at night?
Plants make their food through photosynthesis which require sun light water and chlorophyll. Sun light is available at day time not at night. So plant do not make food at night. This process is called photosynthesis.
How can you differentiate photosynthesis and respiration in terms of their end products?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and transpiration?
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into gucose and oxygen, using absorbed sunlight. Transpiration is the process whereby water reaching the leaves can be lost by evaporation through the stomata, pulling water up the plant through the xylem vessels.
What are the differences between respiration in plants and animals?
| Respiration in plants | Respiration in animals |
|---|---|
| 1. plants only respire | Animals breath air for cellular respiration. |
| 2. Plant obtain oxygen directly from the air through stomata. | Animals inhale oxygen from nose or gills into respiratory organs. |
What is difference between transportation and translocation?
The key difference between transportation and translocation is that transportation is the process that transports water from roots to other parts of the plant while translocation is the process that conducts sucrose from leaves to other parts of the plant.
