Explanation:
Plants do not need a specialized
respiratory system like animals
pecause of their unique way of
obtaining and utilizing gases for
their metabolic processes.
1.Gas exchange through stomata-
Plants have tiny openings called stomata on the surface of their leaves. These stomata allow for the exchange of gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), with the surrounding environment. During photosynthesis, plants take in CO2 and release 02 through these stomata. This process is crucial for their survival and energy production.
2.Passive Transport
Unlike
animals that actively inhale and exhale to exchange gases through specialized respiratory organs like lungs or gills, plants rely on passive diffusion for gas exchange. The gases move in
and out of the plant cells through openings and surface structures without the need for a complex respiratory system
