Created by Turbolearn AI Respiration in Plants and Animals 🌿🐠 External Respiration 👅 External respiration refers to the process of taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide. This process is also known as breathing. "External respiration is the exchange of gases between an organism and its environment." Organs Used for External Respiration Organ Organism Nostrils Humans, other animals Gills Fish Skin Some organisms Lungs Humans, other advanced animals When you breathe in, oxygen is known as inhalation. When you breathe out, carbon dioxide is known as exhalation. Internal Respiration 🔬 Internal respiration refers to the process of oxygen being transported to the cells and carbon dioxide being removed from the cells. "Internal respiration is the process by which oxygen is used to produce energy and carbon dioxide is removed from the body." Process of Internal Respiration Oxygen-rich air enters the lungs Oxygen is transported to the blood vessels Oxygen is carried to the cells by red blood cells Oxygen combines with glucose to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water Carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs and exhaled out Importance of Internal Respiration Energy is produced for biochemical processes Carbon dioxide is removed from the body Respiratory Organs in Humans 🧬 Nostrils: air intake Lungs: gas exchange Blood vessels: oxygen and carbon dioxide transport Red blood cells: oxygen transport Page 1
