Here we have compared Differences between Respiration in Plant and Animals
| Plant Respiration | Animals Respiration |
| Rate. Rate of respiration is slow. | It is quite fast. |
| Respiratory Surface. Plants lack a respiratory surface. | A respiratory surface is generally present. |
| Respiratory Organs. They are absent. | They are commonly present. |
| Transport. A gas transport system is absent. | A transport system is present to carry respiratory gases. |
| Anaerobic Respiration. Common product of anaerobic respiration is alcohol. | Common product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid |
| Oxygen. Most of the oxygen required is produced internally. | It is obtained from outside. |
| Carbon Dioxide. Most of it is consumed internally. | The whole of it is expelled out. |
