Question

what is difference between respiration and breathing

Answer 1

Respiration is breakdown of glucose to release energy for the maintenance of our body.

Breathing is taking in oxygen and giving out carbon di-oxide.

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Breathing is a part of respiration but respiration is not a part of breathing.

Breathing is a process through which oxygen is taken into the body for use in respiration. This involves physical movement to take oxygen (into the lungs) and also chemical action (haemoglobin-carries oxygen from lungs to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to lungs).

But respiration is a chemical process that involves the break down of the glucose that was formed during digestion to form energy (chemically, energy is Adenosine Triphosphate) for our everyday or metabolic processes.
