RESPIRATION
Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. Sugar and oxygen are broken down into carbon dioxide and water. If respiration is higher than photosynthesis, a plant doesn't grow or mature.
anaerobic respiration
Gaseous exchange in which the hydrogen removed from the glucose during glycolysis is combined with an organic ion instead of oxygen.

respiration. The process by which nutrients are metabolized to provide energy needed for cellular activity.
rhizome. A horizontal, underground shoot, especially one that forms roots at the nodes to produce new plants.
respiration The process within plants where sugars and starches are converted into energy.
reticulate venation A net-like vein pattern in some leaves.
Photorespiration - Metabolic pathway that uses oxygen and produces CO2.

plant respiration
The process in a plant that converts energy stored in the plant into energy that can be used by the plant. The process releases carbon dioxide and water as a byproduct.

A fruit or vegetable's existence depends on respiration—a physiological process in which starches and sugars are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and other by-products.
Soap disrupts normal cell respiration in most soft-bodied bugs like aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites and young scales, paralyzing and killing them, yet isn't toxic to humans and pets. Dissolve 1tsp.
Without air, seeds can't use their stored energy through respiration. Never let seeded soil dry out. Without water, seeds can't use their stored energy.
This stored energy only lasts so long.
Give abundance of room: do not let the worms lie so close as to touch one another, for their respiration will be thereby impeded.
Phosphorus is important to early root growth, cell division and respiration. It's also necessary for fruit production. Phosphorus doesn't dissolve and move through the soil.
Phosphorus (P) - Role in fat, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen metabolism; respiration and photosynthesis. Reduced growth, color may intensify, foliage turning brown or purple in some plants; thin stems, loss of lower leaves, reduced flowering.
If breathing is weak, give artificial respiration. Instruct the victim to remain calm, and keep him as quiet, warm and comfortable as possible.
You can always choose glazed terra-cotta (or waterproof the pots yourself) to cut down on respiration, but excessive watering and potential for fungal growth then become the chief concerns.
After a year of a being trampled upon by various activities that tend to pack the soil, the grass roots need a breath of fresh air (oxygen) for respiration that only proper aeration can provide.
According to Purdue University Cooperative Extension, "Juglone has experimentally been shown to be a respiration inhibitor which deprives sensitive plants of needed energy for metabolic activity.
A well-aerated potting mix is very desirable for cuttings as the extra pore space allows for good oxygen exchange which fuels the respiration of the rapidly dividing new root cells.

The volume of the finished compost has been reduced because of biochemical breakdown and water respiration to about 30 to 50 percent of what went into the pile. This finished product offers numerous benefits to our garden soil.
