Question

Differentiate between respiration in plants and animals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Respiration in Plants

Respiratory organs in plants are stomata in leaves, lenticels, and the surface of roots.

The rate of respiration is slow.

Respiration in animals

Respiratory organs in animals are generally the lungs and the gills

The rate of respiration is fast.

Answer 2

✭ Plants respiration :

• No external ventilation movements.

• No special gas transport system.

• Anaerobic respiration forms ethanol and CO₂.

• Green plants produce little detectable heat.

• Green plants have additional oxygen source from photosynthesis.

• Respiration rate is low.

✭ Animal respiration :

• External ventilation movements.

• Blood system transports oxygen.

• Anaerobic respiration forms lactic acid only and no CO₂.

• Animal produce considerable detectable heat.

• Aerobic animals have only air as the oxygen source during breathing.

• Respiration rate is high.
