This is very simple. Animals do use(inhale-exhale) muscles(rib muscles and diaphragm) when breathing, but respiration in plants can be considered as only a chemical reaction, nothing more. This is why animals lose more energy through respiration.

What is a survivorship curve?
a graph showing the process of animals or humans or plants and their growth rate over time.
When animals hibernate their heart rate and respiration decrease and they lose consciousness. Why do some animals hibernate?
the animals that hibernate are unable to handle the conditions like bears they are unable to handle the drop in food supply
Can someone live with a respiration rate of zero?
no
What is a normal respiration rate of elephant?
confuse
5 advantages of sexual reproduction?
There are many advantages of sexual reproduction including creating genetic variance. Other advantages include having a more stable population, lower rate of extinction, higher rate of evolution, and higher socialization in animals.
Why do animals require higher rate of respiration then plants?
Animals require higher rate of respiration as they move from one place to another and therefore they need more energy. There the rate of respiration in animals is than in plants. They require more enrgy.
What effects the rate of respiration in plants?
oxygen effects the rate ofn respiration in plants
How does the size of an animal affect the breathing rate?
Smaller animals have a higher rate of respiration because they have a higher metabolism. Smaller animals have a higher metabolism than larger animals as a rule because the surface area increases as the square of the radius while volume increase 3rd power of the radius which means that smaller animals need to generate more heat because their heat loss is greater for their mass. A higher metabolism requires more oxygen and a higher rate of respiration.
Do plants use the oxygen released during photosynthesis for respiration?
Yes, plants, just like animals, require oxygen for the process of respiration. But during the day hours, they are involved in photosynthesis which requires the intake of carbon dioxide. The rate of respiration in plants is very low as compared to the rate of photosynthesis.
Which has a higher rate of respiration Elodea or a small fresh water zebra fish?
The zebra fish will have a higher respiration rate
Does cellular respiration maintain the high metabolic rate in animals?
High metabolic rate need a lot of energy. So this is supplied by respiration
Why does photosynthesis not continue during the night like cellular respiration does?
plants respire during the day as well the rate of respiration is lower than the rate of photosynthesis in the day
What is the respiration of a person with a heart rate of 95?
Higher than normal 20 with 60 heart rate
What effects does temperature have on the rate of respiration?
The respiratory system is one way of heat exchange in the human body and a higher external temperature makes this less efficient. As heat goes up, the rate of respiration increases as well, putting a higher strain on the lungs.
How does light intensity affect the rate of respiration?
In general, net respiration (Rnet) in plants increases as light intensity increases.
Who needs more food plants or animals?
Plants make more of their own food but animals need more food. This is because the metabolic rate is higher in animals.
What are plants respiration rate?
Plant's respiration rate is affected by many different factors, including tissue age, temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide, damage, lack of water and available sugars.
