If you are referring to metabolic respiration, then plants undergo the same type, aerobic respiration, as humans and a good number of other living things on Earth. Contrary to the previous answer, photosynthesis IS NOT plant's respiration. Photosynthesis is the means by which plants obtain glucose. Metabolic respiration for plants takes place in the same place as it does in you and I, in the mitochondria. Glucose from photosynthesis first undergoes glycolysis in the cytoplasm to yield ATP and pyruvate. The pyruvate then enters the mitochondria where it begins the citric acid cycle (Kreb's cycle) to be oxidized to generate energy to form more ATP. If you want the exact details you should go sit through second semester biochem, where you'll be forced to memorize the entire process. Loads of fun

a. synthesis you are trying to create ATP, or usable energy, to use for various things like movement. d. ATP the whole purpose of respiration is the creation of ATP, which is synthesized from ADP + 1 phosphate. d. starch it creates both cellulose and starch, but the key to this question is that many animals cannot digest cellulose and can digest starch.
