    Plant respiration is the process by which plants use oxygen to break down glucose and release energy and carbon dioxide. It is distinguished from photosynthesis, which uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in three stages: glycolysis in the cytoplasm, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, and the electron transport chain on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Respiration is a catabolic reaction that breaks down molecules to release energy. The rate of respiration affects the postharvest life of produce, with higher rates leading to faster spoilage. Factors like temperature and damage can increase the respiration rate, while reducing temperature can help lower it. Under anaerobic conditions without oxygen, anaerobic respiration occurs
