Breathing and respiration are not synonymous; breathing is a part of respiration. Breathing refers to the intake of atmospheric oxygen followed by the release of carbon dioxide. Respiration involves the following steps:
(i) Breathing
(ii) Diffusion of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
(iii) Transport of gases by the blood
(iv) Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and tissues
(v) Utilisation of oxygen by the cells for breaking down biomolecules and the resultant release of carbon dioxide
