Question

what is the difference between gaseous exchange and respiration or isn't there one?

thanks

Answer 1

Respiration is the release of energy in cells.

Gaseous exchange is like when a plant absorbs CO2 and releases oxygen. And vice versa in the lungs during breathing.

Answer 2

sounds like the same thing to me.

but then I am barking. Woof Woof.

Answer 3

There are 2 types of respiration.

Cellular respiration is how cells release energy from food.

Food + Oxygen ------> Energy +CO2 + H2O

The other kind of respiration is breathing (gaseous exchange)

Answer 4

Gas=Methane, Respiration=Carbon Dioxide.

Answer 5

There is non. Gaseous exchange is what takes past in surface respiration. There are also loads of different types, like aerobic, anaerobic, cellular... only anaerobic uses a surface (your lungs).
