whatt is the difference between breathing and respiration??
Answers
stated above, breathing is the biological process of inhaling and exhaling of the gases between the cells and the environment. The mechanism of breathing involves various respiratory structures such as the windpipe, lungs and nose. Respiration, on the other hand, is a chemical process that takes place in the cell.
Explanation:
•Breathing-
1. Breathing takes place inside the respiratory structure like the lungs.
2. Breathing is a physical process which can be controlled both voluntarily and involuntarily.
3. The gasses after breathing enters the blood through the alveoli.
4. The process requires the use of ATP.
•Respiration-
1. Respiration takes place inside every cell of the body.
2. Respiration occurs inside the cell in the presence of respiratory gasses and hence it is involuntary.
3. The gasses enter the cell from the blood as it carries the gasses towards the tissues.
4. ATP here is produced from the nutrients in the cell.
