Question

Differentiate between respiration in plants and respiration in animals.

Answer 1

Respiration

• Respiration is the physical and chemical process by which an organism supplies its cells and tissues with the oxygen they need for metabolism while also removing the carbon dioxide produced in energy-producing activities.

Difference between plant and animal respiration:

Respiration in plants	Respiration in animals
Plants don't have lungs and only breathe through their leaves.	Animals use lungs for breathing.
Plants use the carbon dioxide generated during respiration in the photosynthesis process	Animals do not use the carbon dioxide generated during breathing; instead, it is expelled outside the body.
