what is the difference between breathing and cellular respiration
Answers
Breathing involves inhale of oxygen from the atmosphere into the lungs and exhale of carbon dioxide from the lungs into the atmosphere ; whereas cellular respiration involves breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water in living cells, releasing energy.
Breathing
Breathing involves the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide
Breathing takes place in the lungs. Also involves the nose, mouth and pharynx
There is no production of energy in this process.
No enzymes are used during the process.
Breathing occurs through respiratory organs, including the nose, lungs, etc.
Respiration
Respiration is the process of breaking down of glucose to produce energy, which is then used by cells to carry out the cellular function.
Respiration takes place in cells
Respiration is an involuntary chemical process.
Energy is produced and released in the form of ATP.
A large number of enzymes are used during the process
Respiration takes place in cells and cell organelles, including mitochondria, etc.
