No, breathing and smelling are not the same thing. Breathing is the process of taking air into and out of the lungs to facilitate respiration, while smelling is the process of detecting and recognizing scents using the nose and olfactory system.

Are breathing and respiration the same process?

Breathing and respiration are related but not the same process. Breathing is the physical act of inhaling and exhaling air, while respiration is the chemical process where cells convert oxygen and nutrients into energy.


Where swallowing food or liquids and breathing at the same time causes coughing would it worsen gastroesophageal reflex disease?

Yes, swallowing food or liquids and breathing at the same time can lead to coughing and potentially worsen symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The coughing may increase the pressure in the abdomen, leading to more reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. This can exacerbate the symptoms of GERD such as heartburn and regurgitation.


What is the breathing rate determined by the level of something in the blood?

The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.


How are glycolysis and oxidative respiration different?

Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate and releases energy to create ATP. Oxidative respiration uses the oxidation of nutrients, or the loss of electrons in the molecule, as the source of energy to make the ATP. Both create the same thing, but the difference lies in the source of the energy.


What is the relationship between the process of breathing and cellular respiration?

In Biology, respiration refers to cellular respiration - the process where cells use oxygen and glucose to produce energy. Breathing refers to taking air into your lungs and exhaling waste gases.

Is it true that you often taste what you smell and vis-a-versa and why?

Yes, it is true. This phenomenon is known as orthonasal olfaction (smelling while breathing in) and retronasal olfaction (smelling while breathing out). When you eat, aromas from the food travel to your nose through the back of your throat, allowing you to taste and smell the food at the same time. This interaction enhances your overall perception of flavor.
