Respiration |
The mechanism by which organisms obtain oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide is called breathing. |
Respiration includes breathing as well as the oxidation of food in the cells of the organism to release energy. |
Breathing is a physical process. |
Respiration includes physical as well as biochemical process of oxidation of food. |
The process of breathing involves the lungs of the organism. |
The process of respiration involves the lungs and mitochondria of the cells. |
Respiration in plants |
Respiration in animals |
All the parts of a plant (like root, stem and leaves) perform respiration individually. |
An animal performs respiration as a single unit. |
During respiration in plants, there is a little transport of respiratory gases from one part of the plant to the other. |
Respiratory gases are usually transported over long distance inside an animal during respiration. |
The respiration in plants occurs at a slow rate. |
The respiration in animals occurs at a much faster rate. |
