What do breathing with lungs and cellular respiration that takes place in the mitochondria of cells have in common?
Both involve gas exchange, breathing is the inhale and exhale of the lungs (whole organism) Cellular respiration is using oxygen to break down sugar to create energy, carbon dioxide and water (each tiny cell)
