Electrons enter the alternative respiratory pathway through the rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase, the external NADH dehydrogenase, or succinate dehydrogenase (Complex II), and pass to O2 via the cyanide-resistant alternative oxidase, energy is not conserved as ATP but is released as heat.

Dense plastids serve as gravity sensors

Gravity does not form gradient.

The only way of sensing gravity is through the motion of a sedimenting body.

In plants intracellular gravity sensors are large, dense amyloplast.

Statoliths –amyloplasts that function as gravity sensors.

Statocytes-specialized gravity sensing cells in which statoliths are present.
