Question
Define breathing. State the differences between breathing and respiration.
✓
Answer
The mechanism by which an organism obtains oxygen from the air and releases carbon-dioxide is called breathing.Difference between breathing and respiration:Breathing:
- Breathing is a simple process.
- Breathing involves taking in oxygen from the air and releasing carbon dioxide into the air.
- Breathing is a physical process.
- Respiration is a complex process.
- Respiration includes breathing as well as the oxidation of food in the cells of the organism to release energy.
- Respiration is a bio-chemical process.
