Answer 1

Answer:

respiration is both breathing as well as oxidation of food.

Explanation:

breathing is just the mechanical means of taking in air and exhaling out. but why do we do this, because we need energy to convert the food we eat to energy which is done by the process of oxidation. so oxidation is the chemical means of respiration. therefore respiration is a mechanical as well as chemical process.
