Question

Which of these statements about plants is/are true?

• A. Plants do not breathe
• B. Plants are non-living organisms
• C. Plants do breathe
• D. Some plants do breathe

Answer 1

The correct option is C Plants do breathe

Plants do breathe. They give out carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen from the air that surrounds them. Their tissues respire just as animal tissues do. Plants, however, do not have lungs or a bloodstream, so we cannot say that they breathe in the same way as animals.
