The process of gas exchange in plants is known as photosynthesis. Animals let out carbon dioxide that the plants convert to oxygen.
In the roots of the plants the gaseous exchange occurs through pores called lenticles. The process of gaseous exchange occurs by the process of diffusion in these cases.
Mechanism of gaseous exchange in plantsPlants require less energy per unit mass than animals as they possess lower metabolic rates. They do not therefore need to maintain the high rates of gaseous exchange of the more complex animals, and rely on diffusion through spaces between the cells (intracellular air spaces). No special ventilation mechanisms exist. Flowering plants exchange gases by diffusion through pores called stomata in their leaves and on their green stems, or if the stems are woody, through cracks in the bark or slits called lenticels.
Gas exchange in leavesLeaves are thin and have a large surface area, and so they are the main sites of gaseous exchange. Inside the leaf of dicotyledons, there is a spongy mesophyll with large air spaces which allow efficient diffusion. There are also especially large spaces around the stomata. Since the system relies on diffusion, water can diffuse out of the plant just as easily. It is obvious that even a small amount of water stress may reduce plant growth (and therefore yield if it is a crop plant). Plants have protective mechanisms whereby they can close their stomata if water is in short supply. This depends on the action of plant hormones, particularly abscisic acid.
The oxygen movements inside the plant are determined by the diffusion gradients that exist in the intercellular air spaces. In this way oxygen travels towards the cells and dissolves in the surface moisture of their walls. From here it passes by diffusion into the cells themselves. Carbondioxide leaves the plants by the same pathway but in the reverse direction. (Fig 1)
The entire process would have become more complex in the photosynthesizing plants. Here the oxygen is produced by the chloroplasts as a waste product of photosynthesis. The oxygen may be used up immediately in respiration by mitochondria contained in the same cell, and waste carbondioxide from respiration may be used by the chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Gas exchange in plants takes place through the stomatawhich are tiny pore-like openings on the base of the leaf. The gas, carbon dioxide is taken in through the stomata and the gas oxygen is released into the atmosphere.

carbon dioxide, oxygen & water either enter or leave the plant
Leaves take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen during photosynthesis.
There are microscopic hole in the leaves ( the bottom side) called stomata, carbon dioxide diffuses in, excess oxygen diffuses out.
with out gas exchange, a plant would be unable to?
Gas exchange happens in a plant as when the chlorophlly rises to the top of the leaf collecting sunlight!!!! :)
Study fools;)
it happens when you farted!
the stomata.
Stomata
also gas exchange and distribution of water?
Dragonfly breathes from its butt. It sucks water from its anus where the gas exchange process occurs. When the dragonfly takes the water out from its rear, it pushes the nymph forward, giving the added benefit of locomotion.
oxygen
It is a plants leave that allows gasses in and out of the plant, this process is called the Stomata

Respiration
the stomata.
by the process of photosynthesis
Stomata are the openings in leaves that (among other functions) regulate gas exchange.
Stomata
Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
Yes, they do. In Biology, respiration is the process in which atmospherical gases, like oxygen or carbon dioxide, exchange with inner organisms gases; for most us, respiration is the process of inhaling and exhaling. The most common gas exchange in nature is oxygen forcarbon dioxyde and viceversa.
plants don't let out any gas in fact I know they don't by looking at the question
oxygen
