State whether the following statements are true or false: (a) During respiration, the plants take CO2 and release O2. (b) Energy can be produced in cells without oxygen. (c) Fish and earthworm exchange gases during respiration in the same way.

• False

During respiration, the plants take oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The exchange of gases take place the stomatal pores present on leaves of the plant.

• True

Energy can be produced in the cells even without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration also produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen.

• False

Fish breathe through the organ called gills and earthworms breathe through their moist skin.
