Question

Assertion: Plants have no specialised respiratory organs.\ Reason : There is very little transport of gases from one plant part to another.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange. Gaseous exchange in plants occurs by diffusion through stomata and lenticels. There are various reason for the absence of respiratory organs in plants. Each part of plant takes care of its own gas exchange needs. There is little transport of gases from one part to another. Plants do not have much demands for gas exchange.
