How do plants regulate breathing?

The respiration of plants is a necessary process for their survival. This process can be divided into aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Under aerobic conditions, glucose in plants decomposes glucose by reacting with oxygen, releasing a lot of energy for plant life. Under hypoxia, plants break down glucose into lactic acid or alcohol, but they release a little energy, which is what plants have to do. In short, respiration is a process in which plants decompose glucose into energy to obtain bioenergy. Many intermediates of respiration are used as raw materials to synthesize other compounds, including fat, protein, chlorophyll and nucleic acid.
