What is respiration?

Respiration is the process by which organisms obtain energy from the breakdown of organic molecules and produce carbon dioxide as a waste product.

It is an essential metabolic process for all living organisms.

Types of respiration

Aerobic respiration

Involves the use of oxygen to break down organic molecules and release energy.

It occurs in most organisms, including humans, and is more efficient in terms of energy production.

Anaerobic respiration

Takes place in the absence of oxygen.

It is less efficient and typically occurs in certain bacteria, yeast, and some other microorganisms.

Can be further divided into alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

Respiratory system of human

Consists of specific organs and structures involved in the process of respiration.

Major organs include

Lungs: Main respiratory organs responsible for the exchange of gases.

Divided into bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli for efficient gas exchange.

Diaphragm: A dome-shaped muscle that aids in breathing by contracting and relaxing.

Nose and Mouth: Entry points for air.

Trachea: Windpipe connecting the nose and mouth to the lungs.

Larynx: Voice box located at the top of the trachea.

Contains vocal cords for producing sound.

Respiration in fish, frog, earthworm

Fish

Respire through gills.

Water passes over the gills, and oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide diffuses out.

Some fish species have a specialized swim bladder to control buoyancy.

Frog

As tadpoles, they respire through gills.

After metamorphosis, frogs develop lungs and respire through them.

Additionally, they can also respire through their skin.

Earthworm

Does not have lungs or gills.

Gas exchange occurs through the moist skin.

Oxygen from the surrounding air diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide diffuses out.
