Question

What is difference between breathing and respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

breathing is process of inhaling oxygen and enhaling of carbon dioxide

respiration is the process of releasing of energy from food

Answer 2

Difference between breathing and respiration:

While breathing, oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is exhaled. Respiration is the process of breaking down of glucose to produce energy which is used by cells to carry out the cellular function. Breathing takes place in the lungs. Respiration takes place in cells.

Breathing:

• When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
• Every system in the body relies on oxygen. From cognition to digestion, effective breathing can not only provide you with a greater sense of mental clarity, it can also help you sleep better, digest food more efficiently, improve your body's immune response, and reduce stress levels.

Respiration:

• Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells). Note the number of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water molecules involved in each 'turn' of the process.
• Respiration is important because it produces energy that is essential for the normal functioning of the body. It provides cells with oxygen and expels toxic carbon dioxide. The BBC notes that cells need energy for movement, multiplication, the synthesis of essential molecules and maintaining body temperature.
