Respiration-The energy producing system |

Using food to carry out life processes is key to life for all living beings |
in both multicellular or unicellular. In the chapter, on nutrition we have |
LA |
discussed how the body draws out nutrients from the food taken in. The |
food provides energy for all the biological activities only after break down |
through the process known as respiration. Thus, respiration leads to final |
utilization of food. Normally respiration takes place in oxygen rich |

enveronment. Cells of the living body use food constantly to help our |
body to function properly. They require the presence of gas, food material |
and some chemicals. |
The term ‘respiration’ derived from Latin word ‘respire’ meaning ‘to |
breathe’, refers to the whole chain of processes from the inhalation of air |

Discovery of gases and respiration |
The term respiration came into use, a century after the word breathing |
was used, way back in the 14th century. It was used much before people |
knew that air is a mixture of gases. They hardly knew anything about all |

the life processes that took place internally in a living body. Respiration |
which was used as a medical term, usually referred to as a process |
involving passage of air and production of body heat. |
It was not until 18th century when Lavoisier and Priestley did a |
comprehensive work on properties of gases, their exchange and |
respiration that we came to know something about how the process of |

gaseous exchange goes on, in our body. You have already studied about |

Lavoisier also carried out several experiments to understand the |
property of gases. In his early experiments, it is clear that Lavoisier thought |
that the gas liberated on heating powdered charcoal in a belljar kept over |
water in a trough was like fixed air. In those days carbon dioxide was known |
as fixed air. The next series of experiments dealt with the combustion of |
