Carbon stored in plants reaches the atmosphere via cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that allows plants to convert the energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and then release the waste products. The energy from the glucose molecules is broken down into ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are also required to convert the nutrients into ATP. In our case, carbon and oxygen are waste products so they are released into the atmosphere via the pores underneath the leaf of a plant or tree.

Carbon stored in plants reaches the atmosphere through the process called cellular respiration.

What is cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration in Plant can be defined as a set of metabolic activities that enables plants to transform energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) with the use of CO2 and H2O to release waste products such as carbon and oxygen.

  • This process is achieved by the energy gotten from glucose molecules which are converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Carbon and oxygen are waste products and are discharged into the environment through the pores underneath the leaf of a plant.
