Gas exchange does not occur in the pleura. The pleura is a membrane that lines the outside of the lungs and inside of the chest cavity. Gas exchange, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is removed, happens in the alveoli of the lungs.
During gas exchange in plants, the primary site is the stomata, which are small openings on the surface of leaves. These stomata allow for the exchange of gases, with carbon dioxide entering the plant for photosynthesis and oxygen and water vapor exiting. Additionally, gas exchange can also occur through lenticels on stems and roots, although to a lesser extent. Overall, stomata play a crucial role in regulating this process, balancing gas exchange with water loss.

The volume of air that cannot undergo gas exchange is known as dead space. It consists of the air in the conducting airways (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles) where gas exchange does not occur because it does not reach the alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange takes place.
It is because Co2(carbon dioxide) is transferred to the plant and the plant makes the Co2 Oxygen.
During the stage of photosynthesis, the exchange of gases occur in the leaves.
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
