No, they do not have lungs like animals and humans do.

∙ 13y agoPlants are considered the lungs of the earth because they exchange gasses. They take in CO2 and release oxygen.

∙ 14y agoI can only assume that it is because they absorb Carbon Dioxide and produce Oxygen.

∙ 10y agowhat i think its that plants provide oxygen which supports the lungs

Can plants provide carbon dioxide to animals?
Uh plants provide Oxygen first of all. And animals are mammals with lungs which exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide just like humans.
What does the nose do in the respiratory system?
Why forest are called gren lungs?
A forest is sometimes referred to as green lungs because trees use up carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, as do virtually all plants. This gives humans and the animals of the world more air to breathe.
What effect does soot have on a plant?
it is really unhealthy it causes lungs cancer . soot is not even good for plants it destroys the upper surface of the plant so that the photosynthesis could not take place
Do plants respire and how?
Great question! Not as we do, with lungs. which is an active process, but they do breathe by a passive process. Both plants and animals carry on a process called respiration which occurs on a cellular level and involves an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Plants mostly do this in their leaves, which in some ways are similar to our skin (which, incidentally, is the largest organ in our bodies). The process by which all respiration takes place is called diffusion - plants 'breathe' through their leaves - the really cool thing is that they 'exhale' - ready? oxygen...which is why we want trees - because they breathe by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen for us to use in our bodies to do our own respiration.BTW - Animals breathe differently than plants. We do it in two places, in our lungs - as most people are aware - and also in our body tissues. Our lungs take in oxygen (that came from the plants respiration) and we put it in our blood, and at the same time release the carbon dioxide from the blood and put it into the atmosphere so the plants can use it. In addition, we also have a second type of breathing that occurs in all our bodies called tissue respiration. In our tissues, we take the oxygen from the blood and put it in the tissues, and at the same time take the carbon dioxide from the tissues and put it in the blood to be taken to the lungs.
A slogan about the importance of plants and photosynthesis?
Plants are the lungs of the planet and we all know what happens when our lungs stop working.
Does everything have lungs?
No of course not! Humans and animals have lungs but Plants and Trees do not.
Which is the odd one our leaves lungs or roots?
Lungs are found in some animals the other two are found in plants.
What do your lungs release that plants need for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
What living thing breathe with its lungs?
Everything but plants as they photosynthesis.
Does the anatomy and physiology of animals lungs the same?
yes their lungs are the same and so is their respiration system. but plants are different. -jenny
What helps us live?
The oxygen that plants give us and our lungs
What part of the plant is the lungs?
plants do not have lungs. but their leafs absorb carbon dioxide and send out oxygen and their roots take up water.
Do your lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Yes, and plants do the exact opposite.
Where on the leaves do plants respirate through?
Plants breathe through small holes in their leaves. Unlike us they do not breathe through lungs.
Why don't animals and plants need lungs?
because they don't breath like humans
Is it true Plants primarily exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen through their lungs?
no its there stomach
