How do the rates of Respiration in Plants compare to those in animals?

Options

  1. AHigher in plants
  2. BLower in plants
  3. CEqual in both
  4. DVariable, depending on the time of day

Correct answer

B. Lower in plants

Step-by-step solution

Yes, plants require O2 for respiration to occur and they also give out CO2. Hence, plants have systems in place that ensure the availability of O2. Plants, unlike animals, have no specialized organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose. There are several reasons why plants can get along without respiratory organs. First, each plant part takes care of its own gas-exchange needs. There is very little transport of gases from one plant part to another . Second, plants do not present
