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.
(a) Correct answer: False.
Explanation: During respiration, the plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases occurs through the stomata present on the leaves of the plant.
(b) Correct answer: True
Explanation: Energy can be produced in the cells even without oxygen through Anaerobic respiration.
(c) Correct answer: False
Explanation: Fish breathe through gills whereas earthworms breathe through their moist skin.
