Question

Difference b/w respiration and breathing

Answer 1

Breathing :

• Breathing involves the process of inhaling and exhaling the air in and out of lungs. While breathing, oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is exhaled.
• Breathing takes place in lungs.

• Breathing is a physical voluntary process.
• No energy is produced during the process.
• It is an extracellular process, as it occurs outside cells.
• No enzymes are used during the process.
• Breathing takes places through respiratory organs like lungs, nose, etc.

Respiration:

• Respiration is the process of the breaking down the glucose to produce energy which is used by cells to carry out the cellular function.
• Respiration takes place in cells.
• Respiration is a chemical involuntary process.
• Energy is released in the form of ATP.
• It is an intracellular process, as it occurs inside cells.
• A large number of enzymes are used during the process.
• Respiration takes place in cells and cell organelles like mitochondria, etc.

Answer 2

1. Breathing is a physical and voluntary process while respiration is chemical and involuntary process.

2 .Breathing takes place in respiratory organs Called as lungs while respiration takes place in cells.

3.Breathing is a mechanical action involving the act of ingaling and exhaling.It involves taking in oxygen from the environment and removal of CO2 from the body whereas respiration involves the process by which chemical energy stored in the cells is released in the form of ATP along with CO2 and water.
