Question

Give two point differences between respiration in plants and respiration in animals.

Answer 1

Respiration in plants:

1. Respiration in plants occurs by the means of lenticels, stomata, and root hairs.

Respiration in animals:

1. The exchange of gases in animals by the process of breathing occurs through gills, skin, lungs, etc.

Respiration in plants	Respiration in animals
No specialised ventilation mechanism is found in plants for respiration. Plants usually respire through the stem, leaf, roots, etc.	Specialised ventilation mechanisms are found in animals along with special respiratory organs like skin, gills, trachea, lungs, etc.
The rate of gaseous exchange is low in plants.	Rate of gaseous exchange is high in animals.
