Cellular Respiration in Plants By Robert Korpella; Updated April 25, 2017 Cells in both plants and animals use cellular respiration as a means of converting stored energy into a chemical that individual cells consume. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a chemical food that all cells use. Plants first create a simple sugar through photosynthesis. Individual cells then break down that sugar through cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is the consumption of oxygen by a cell within a living organism. In plant seeds, the cellular respiration does not occur until the seed has absorbed moisture and released stored starches that can then be metabolized into energy for the purpose of growth.
