respiration full details
Answers
Respiration refers to the mechanisms for obtaining oxygen from the air and delivering it to the tissues, while eliminating carbon dioxide from the body. It is related to cellular respiration, the biochemical processes that consume this oxygen and generate the carbon dioxide in the course of making adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ). Respiration in the former sense involves four processes:
(1) breathing, or ventilation of the lungs;
(2) gas exchange between
air and blood in the lungs;
(3) gas transport in the blood; and
(4) gas exchange between the blood and tissues

Provides O2 to cells for energy production
and removes CO2 from cells.
In animals, Respiration involves:
(i) breathing or ventilation which
happens in lungs, and
(ii) cellular respiration which occurs in
cells and produces energy from oxidation
of food.
Organs of respiration in fish are gills. In
humans – nostrils, trachea, bronchi, lungs.
Breathing happens by change in position of
ribs and diaphragm
Air moves from region of its high pressure to
its low pressure
At inspiration At expiration
O2 in air 20% 16%
CO2 in air 04% 4%
O2 enters blood and reaches cells
CO2 produced by cells goes out into blood and
from lungs out of body.Exchange of O2 and CO2 between alveoli and
blood.
In the cells, energy production by oxidation of
glucose occurs in mitochondria
Gas Exchange between alveoli and blood
capillaries
Air with more O2 breathed in
Reaches alveoli
High concentration of O2 in alveoli
High concentration of CO2 in tissues
The two gases exchanged between blood
brought from tissues and alveoli
In plants, oxygen enters through stomata of
leaves by diffusion. CO2 diffuses out of cells,
also through stomata.
