Question
Give the main points of difference between respiration in plants and respiration in animals.
Solution
| Respiration in plants | Respiration in animals |
| All the parts of a plant perform respiration individually. | An animal performs respiration as a single unit. |
| There is little transport of respiratory gases from one part of the plant to the other. | Respiratory gases are usually transported over long distances inside an animal. |
| The respiration in plants occurs at a slow rate. | The respiration in animals occurs at a much faster rate. |
