What is the relationship between digestion and respiration?
You need oxygen to convert food into energy and this process is called cellular respiration
Is the mitochondria involved in respiration or digestion?
respiration
Is the esophagus a common passageway for respiration and digestion?
No, the esophagus only functions in digestion. The trachea is the passageway for respiration.
How are digestion and cellular respiration related?
In heterotrophs digestion provide glucose molecules.These molecules are oxidized in respiration
How is digestion and respiration alike?
Digestion and Respiration are alike in term of the fact that in both of them oxidation of food take place.
What functions in an organism can be explained by the principle of chemistry?
For example digestion and respiration.
What is the process by which food is broken down and energy is released?
Cellular respiration.
What is a passageway for both respiration and digestion?
Pharynx (throat)
What is the function of the serous fluid?
excretion, digestion, respiration
How does digestion connect photosynthesis to respiration?
Sorry to disappoint you, but digestion DOES NOT connect photosynthesis to respiration. Photosynthesis and respiration comes from plants and animals, when the animal breathes out CO2, and they receive the oxygen when the plant inhales the CO2 and breathes out oxygen. That's it. And the cycle repeats just like that. NOTHING with digestion. Trust me.
In what way could you compare your whole body to a single cell?
in a cell different cell organelles do different functions(e.g. mitochondria-respiration) in the same way our body has different organs or different organ systems to do different functions(heart-respiration;digestive system-complete digestion and excretion of food)
What is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released?
The first step of the process is the digestion.
