How Is Cellular Respiration Different In Plants And Animals. Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are the two types of cellular respiration found in organisms. Plant cells undergo photosynthesis in which they convert sunlight water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen at which point they can use that glucose to proceed through the steps of cellular respiration like animals and generate atp.
However animal cells store energy in the form of glycogen whereas plants store their energy in the form of starch. Respiration is a oxidative process c 6 h 12 o 6 6o 2 6 co 2 6h 2 o 686 kilocalorie heat. Plant respiration are the opposite of photosynthesis which is a biological process performed by green plants that creates oxygen and releases it into the air.
The external respiration occurs in the different respiratory organs of the animals for the gaseous exchange and internal respiration occurs in the mitochondria for the release of the energy.
Aerobic respiration occurs in higher animals and plants. The reaction is the mirror image of photosynthesis. Both of these cell types have similar processes for reproduction which include mitosis and meiosis animal and plant cells obtain the energy they need to grow and maintain normal cellular. Plants take part in respiration all through their life as the plant cell needs the energy to survive however plants breathe differently through a process known as cellular respiration.
