In Chapter 2 we got to know that the cell is the smallest and most fundamental unit of a living organism. Also, cells assist in bodily functions such as nutrition, excretion, and reproduction. To carry out these functions, the cells require energy. The energy is derived from the food we intake as food has stored energy that is released during respiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In respiration, we breathe the air around us. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The air we inhale is carried throughout the entire body, reaching each individual cell. Within these cells, the oxygen from the air plays a crucial role in the process of breaking down food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Class 7 Science Chapter 10 | Respiration in Organisms Full Chapter Explanation & NCERT Solutions\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2a5JpcwCszs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Magnet Brains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cellular-respiration\">Cellular Respiration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The breakdown of food or glucose within cells releases energy. The food in the cell is broken down into water (H20) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the presence of oxygen. This process is known as \u201ccellular respiration\u201d. It is a universal process occurring in the cells of all living organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aerobic-and-anaerobic-respiration-nbsp\">Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we are familiar with cellular respiration, let us understand aerobic and anaerobic respiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Aerobic Respiration<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Anaerobic Respiration<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>In aerobic respiration, glucose breaks down in cells with the help of oxygen.\u00a0<\/td><td>In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down in cells without oxygen.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Glucose\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013> CO2+H20+Energy (In the presence of oxygen)<\/td><td>Glucose\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014>Alcohol+CO2+Energy (In the absence of oxygen)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Organisms that perform aerobic respiration: Human beings, Cows, Buffaloes<\/td><td>Organisms that perform anaerobic respiration (aka Anaerobes): Yeast\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Anaerobic Respiration in Human Beings:\u00a0<\/strong><br>Human muscle cells are capable of undergoing anaerobic respiration, but this can only occur briefly when there is a temporary shortage of oxygen. In situations such as intense exercise, like fast running, cycling, prolonged walking, or heavy weightlifting, the body\u2019s energy demand is substantial. However, the available oxygen supply to generate this energy is restricted. In such cases, muscle cells resort to anaerobic respiration to meet the energy demand.<br><br>Here is how human muscles gain energy through anaerobic respiration:<br>Glucose\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014> Lactic Acid+Energy (In the absence of oxygen)<br>(in human muscles)<br>Production of Lactic Acid due to partial breakdown of glucose results in muscle cramps caused during exercise or other physical activity. To get relief from cramps, it is advisable to take a massage or a hot water bath. Both hot water baths and massage improve blood circulation due to which the supply of oxygen increases in our muscles. Further, oxygen supply breaks down the glucose completely and converts lactic acid to CO2 and H2O. This in turn reduces cramp pains as well.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Human Muscular System: Parts, Function, Organs, Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-breathing-in-human-beings\">Breathing in Human Beings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of taking in air with high oxygen volume and giving out air with high CO2 content through the respiratory organs is known as breathing.

When we inhale, the ribs expand upward and outward, while the diaphragm moves downward. These actions create more space in our chest cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs, thereby filling them with air.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas, during exhalation, the ribs move downward and inward, and the diaphragm returns to its initial position by moving upward. This contraction of the chest cavity reduces its size, pushing air out of the lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Human Body Systems and Functions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-breathing-in-other-animals\">Breathing in Other Animals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, in NCERT Class 7 Science Chapter 6, we also learn about respiration in other living organisms like cockroaches and earthworms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cockroach\">Cockroach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cockroaches have small openings on their body.

In a cockroach, oxygen-laden air enters its body through spiracles. Thereafter, air from spiracles gushes into tracheal tubes. Now, the air diffuses into the body tissue of the cockroach and reaches each cell of this insect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, carbon dioxide-rich air from the cells travels to tracheal tubes. From there, the exhaled air moves out into the atmosphere through the spiracles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earthworm\">Earthworm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthworms breathe through their skin.

They, too, absorb oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide. Inside plant cells, oxygen is used to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water, similar to the process in other organisms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different parts of plants can individually take in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide. In plants, leaves possess small openings known as stomata, which are used for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, just like all other living cells within plants, the cells in plant roots require oxygen to produce energy.
