No, it uses air all together.
Diffusion of cytoplasmic oxygen.
Most reptiles use diffusion through the skin to obtained oxygen.
Diffusion does not require energy and can occur without the need for oxygen. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of ATP and does not directly involve the use of oxygen, although oxygen is essential for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
diffusion
When breathing oxygen into the lungs, animals are using diffusion to distribute that oxygen to all cells in the organism. Carbon dioxide in turn is diffused from the bodies cells into the lungs to be breathed out. Plants also use diffusion to obtain carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Diffusion is used in photosynthesis and also when absorbing water and minerals from the soil and into the roots.
Oxygen diffusion increases as the need increases. It is a matter of supply and demand.
The respiratory system is the first link in the process of oxygen delivery to the body's tissues. The transport of oxygen in the air you breathe to the alveoli in your lungs allows for the diffusion of oxygen into the blood stream.
Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.
