Solution

Respiration in AnimalsRespiration in plants
It occurs through specialized organs like lungs, gills etc.It does not have specialized organs, it occurs through stomata, lenticels, roots,etc
Animals release CO2 as waste product of metabolism into the atmosphere.Plants release both oxygen (byproduct of photosynthesis) and carbon dioxide (byproduct of respiration) into the atmosphere.
Animals obtain glucose and oxygen from outside to perform respiration so they are known as heterotrophs.Plants take in carbon dioxide from the environment to produce glucose inside its body and hence are known as autotrophs.
