Plants use cellular respiration to harvest the energy stored in the molecular bonds of glucose.
Explanation:
Plants are autotrophs, they synthesis glucose from carbon dioxide and water using solar energy during photosynthesis. The light energy is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules. The glucose then used as substrate for cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is a process which takes place in the all living cells of the plants during which respiratory substrate (glucose) is oxidised completely in presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP). The Respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.
