Either does not notice some things in the nature of people, or considers so ordinary that does not even think as it can be arranged. For example, seldom who remembers from a school course as plants breathe. And if remember, then only the main terms and provisions. At the same time very few people think of how all this really looks in practice.

Plants, as well as people, do not stop the activity at night. And in spite of the fact that all processes slow down, such functions as respiratory, proceed.

Principle of a respiratory system of plants

Plants at breath absorb oxygen also emit carbon dioxide. And in it they differ in nothing from the person. Breath is necessary for them to develop energy which turns into food for plant cages subsequently.

Plants receive necessary oxygen generally through leaves. In each of them, despite rather strong protective cover, there are small openings for gas exchange called an ustyitsa. In cages of leaves there are chlorolayers thanks to which they can open and be closed. Respiratory cages are on the lower part of a leaf.

Widespread belief that is perfectly slept in the room where there are many plants, incorrectly. Plants actively consume at night oxygen and emit carbon dioxide.

The respiratory system of plants is not so difficult as human, but at the same time it is not less important. Plants can breathe also through cracks in bark and stalks. Oxygen at hit in a plant begins the movement on mezhkletnik, and then is dissolved in the water feeding cellular walls. So it also gets into cages. Plants have also exceptions, for example water-lilies and other water flowers. They have air chambers in an underwater part of a stalk which represent a basis of a respiratory system of such plants.

In what main role of breath of plants

First of all, and this basic position, - breath promotes growth of plants and is a source of formation of new bodies at green plantings. In case breath is broken, it can easily lead of plants to death.

If you like to part flowers, regularly wipe them with a damp rag from dust and also spray with water. It will help them to breathe correctly and grow longer.

During breath of a plant spend carbohydrates which are formed during photosynthesis. There is a photosynthesis process during daylight hours since only under the influence of sunlight substances necessary for plants can be emitted. At night all these nutrients disperse on all fabrics. Breath is an opposite process when the living organism begins to spend, but not to accumulate.
