Digestion is the breakdown of absorbed substances, Respiration, on the other hand, is the breakdown of food molecules with a release of energy.
What else can I help you with?
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 esophagus a common passageway for respiration and digestion?
No, the esophagus only functions in digestion. The trachea is the passageway for 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 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
Which activity would supply the most oxygen to the body for digestion and respiration?
The activity that would supply the most oxygen to the body for digestion and respiration is aerobic exercise, such as running, swimming, or cycling. These activities increase your heart rate and help to improve oxygen circulation, which is beneficial for digestion and respiration.
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)
How are digestion and cellular respiration related?
Digestion breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. These nutrients are then used in cellular respiration, a biochemical process that converts these nutrients into energy (ATP) that cells can use to carry out their functions. So, the nutrients obtained through digestion are essential for the cellular respiration process to occur and provide energy to the body.
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.
What is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released?
The first step of the process is the digestion.
Is the mitochondria involved in respiration or digestion?
The mitochondria is involved in respiration. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for producing ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. Digestion, on the other hand, primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine.
