Explain
People often confuse respiration with breathing. Write a paragraph to clearly explain the difference
between respiration and breathing.
Respiration is a chemical reaction that releases energy. Aerobic respiration occurs in
the mitochondria of cells. Cells require a supply of oxygen for aerobic respiration. In
mammals, oxygen is obtained by breathing. Breathing is the process of taking air into
and releasing it from the lungs. Oxygen from the air diffuses from the lungs to the red
blood cells, which transport it to the rest of the body.
