Both breathing and respiration are required for all living organisms. Generally, breathing and respiration are often considered the same. However, there is a great difference between these two words .Breathing is a constant process where you breathe in and out constantly throughout the day. It is a process of taking in oxygen andexpelling carbon dioxide. Respiration is a process where the body breaks down the oxygen, so that the cells in the body can use it. It is a part of  metabolic process also known as catabolic processof a cellular activity where energy molecule  is released while carbon dioxide and water are produced. Breathing is a physical process and respiration is a chemical process. Breathing is a process of taking oxygen into the lungs while respiration istaking the oxygen from the lungs into the blood stream or to the cells.
