NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The leftovers from making the plant food is another gas called oxygen. This oxygen is released from the leaves into the air. Take a look at the picture below to see this system in action. This leftover oxygen is really important because humans and other animals need this oxygen to live which we breathe in from the air.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans get the oxygen they need by breathing through their nose and mouth into their lungs. Oxygen gives our cells the ability to break down food in order to get the energy we need to survive. Although other animals may use different organs to breathe with, they all get oxygen into their bodies through respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals, during respiration, take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide gas. Plants, on the other hand, utilize this carbon dioxide gas in the process of photosynthesis to produce food and release oxygen in the atmosphere. Thus, we can say that plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simplified, we breathe in oxygen and carbon dioxide out, and plants do the opposite. We breathe in and out through our mouths but how do plants breathe? Plants also have mouths. The green parts of land plants are covered with tiny units called stomata, which is Greek for mouths.
