The movement of O2 and CO2 between the plant and the environment is known as
A
gas exchange
B
transport
C
photosynthesis
D
respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of gases in green plants or the gaseous exchange in plants is called diffusion and it is regulated by the stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term respiration denotes the exchange of the respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the organism and the medium in which it lives and between the cells of the body and the tissue fluid that bathes them.

Detailed explanation-3: -In animals, gas exchange follows the same general pattern as in plants. Oxygen and carbon dioxide move by diffusion across moist membranes. In simple animals, the exchange occurs directly with the environment. But with complex animals, such as mammals, the exchange occurs between the environment and the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the alveoli and the capillaries in the lungs. Perfusion is the process by which the cardiovascular system pumps blood throughout the lungs.
