  • Animal respiration takes at night and day, but plant respiration takes only at night.
  • Because at day, the plant absorbs CO2 and produces O2, while animal absorbs O2 and produces CO
  • Respiration in plants uses CO2 during the day while respiration in animals uses O2 during the day and night.
  • Plant respiration absorbs CO2 and produces O2, 0therwise, animal respiration absorbs O2 and produces CO2.
  • Plants produce O2 during the day and absorb O2 at night, whereas, animals absorb O2 at day and night.
  • Respiration in plants needs sunlight, but an animal doesn’t need it.
  • Plant respiration occurs only at night, but all of the time for animals.
  • Respiration in animals produces energy but that in the plant doesn’t produce it. Respiration in plants means that it cooks food, but animals don’t.
  • Animals can move, but plants cannot.
  • Animal respires but the plant does photosynthesis.
  • Respiration in plants needs chlorophyll, but it doesn’t in animals.
