Answer

Enzymes controlled process of biological oxidation of various organic food materials in a living cell, producing $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, and releasing energy in the form of ATP, is called respiration.
The organic compounds catabolised in the living cells to release energy are called respiratory substrates.
Due to the presence of lenticels in the periderm which is connected internally to the network of parenchyma with outside world.
The most important energy carrier is ATP. This energy rich compound is mobile, but cannot pass from one cell to another.
Carbohydrates in condition of its unavailability, proteins, fats and organic acids can be used.
