DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BREATHING AND CECULLAR RESPIRATION

 BREATHING AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• 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 and respiration are two completely different but interrelated body processes which assist body organs to function properly. Breathing is the physical process of exchanging gases whilst respiration is a chemical process which takes place at a cellular level and produces energy.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BREATHING AND RESPIRATION

Respiration is a process of break down of complex molecules in the presence of oxygen to release tons of energy(ATP's)required for the cell growth. Breathing is a process inhalation of air from surroundings and exhalation of air into surroundings.
