Answer 1

Dear student, plants respire throughout the day.Just like all other living organisms, plants also exhibit the process of respiration. They respire through the tiny pores on the surface of their leaves called stomata. Oxygen enters the plant, while carbon dioxide leaves the plant through these pores. The roots of plants also respire. They do so by taking in oxygen from the air spaces present in soil. Thanks and regards
