Answer
- The root hair present on the root helps in respiration by The oxygen present in between the soil particles is absorbed by these root hair by diffusion. The carbon dioxide produced in the cells move out through these root hair by the same process of diffusion.
- The stems of the herbaceous plants contain stomata. The pores present on the stem helps in the exchange of gases and carbon dioxide present in the air diffuses out through the same Lenticels are present in the woody stems for the exchange of gases.
- The respiration in leaves takes place through the tiny pores called stomata present on them. The exchange of gases occurs through these The oxygen is transported to other cells of the plant by diffusion and in the same carbon dioxide is removed from the cells. In this way respiration takes place in leaves.
