This presentation explores the fundamental differences between breathing and respiration, two essential processes in human biology. Breathing is the physical act of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, involving the lungs, diaphragm, and airways. It is a mechanical process that supports respiration. Respiration, on the other hand, is a biochemical process occurring at the cellular level, where glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy powers all cellular activities. The presentation highlights how breathing and respiration are interrelated yet distinct in function, purpose, and location. Perfect for students, teachers, and science enthusiasts, this resource simplifies complex concepts with clear explanations and visuals, making it ideal for learning or teaching.
Students will be able to: Differentiate between breathing and respiration.
What gas do we need from the air to keep us alive? What do we do to take this gas into our systems? What is the human respiratory system? What other vertebrates have a respiratory system that is similar to ours? How do you breathe when you have finished running a race? Questions to Ponder
We need oxygen to stay alive We inhale oxygen through breathing Human respiratory system facilitates breathing, gas exchange, and provides oxygen for energy production Mammals like dogs and cats have respiratory system similar to humans We breathe faster after running a race to supply more oxygen to the muscles and remove excess carbon dioxide Key Points
Difference between Breathing and Respiration
Difference between Breathing and Respiration B reathing describes just the movement of air in and out of the lungs. It can also be described as ventilation. W hereas respiration is a series of chemical reactions, taking place inside cells to release energy.
