Answer:
Respiration in Plants;
•Plants release oxygen, as a by-product of photosynthesis.
•Respiratory organs in plants are stomata in leaves, lenticels, and the surface of roots.
•In this process of cellular respiration, plants generate glucose molecules through photosynthesis by capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into glucose. Several live experiments demonstrate the breathing of plants.
Respiration in animals;
•Animals obtain oxygen by breathing air inside the body.
•Respiratory organs in animals are generally the lungs and the gills.
•Gas exchange occurs by diffusion, moving necessary gases like oxygen into animals and taking away waste gases like carbon dioxide.
Respiration in Plants :-
- Plants do not breathe, they only respire through their leaves.
- Plant obtain oxygen directly from the air through stomata.
- Carbon dioxide released during respiration is utilized by plants for the photosynthesis process.
- Respiratory organs are absent. Respiration takes place through diffusion.
- They produce little heat.
- One of the end products obtained is lactic acid.
- In night-time, plants take in oxygen and give out the carbon dioxide produced by respiration. At night photosynthesis stops but respiration occurs.
- Plants photosynthesize their glucose.
- Plants release oxygen, as a by-product of photosynthesis.
- Respiratory organs in plants are stomata in leaves, lenticels, and the surface of roots.
- The rate of respiration is slow.
Respiration in animals :-
- Animals breathe air for cellular respiration.
- Animals inhale oxygen from nose or gills into their respective respiratory organs.
- Carbon dioxide released during respiration is not utilized by animals; it is released outside the body.
- Respiratory organs are present like lungs.
- They produce more heat.
- One of the end products obtained is ethanol.
- Animals take in oxygen through the lungs by internal and cellular respiration. It takes place inside the animal body and releases carbon dioxide.
- Animals obtain their glucose by the breakdown of carbohydrate molecules.
- Animals obtain oxygen by breathing air inside the body.
- Respiratory organs in animals are generally the lungs and the gills.
- The rate of respiration is fast.
