Do plants breathe ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Plants do not breathe but respire .
Plants need `O_(2)` for respiration and they give out `CO_(2)`
Hence, plants have systems in place that ensures the availability of `O_(2)` . Plants unlike animals have no specialised organs or gaseous exchange.
They have stomata and lenticles for this purpose.
